To anyone facing a dental appointment in the next week or so, I wish all
of you good luck on the dental stuff, for I am sure if anyone is facing an ordeal of dentalwork hell, such as a filling or even a root canal, I am sure it may not exactly be easy for them to get into the Christmas spirit as well.


I also just say this for I am in the same boat, for I have to see the dentist on Wednesday at 2:30 in the afternoon for a routine checkup.

1. One of my back teeth fell apart a few days ago, and I have an appointment
next Tuesday to get it rebuilt. It was one with a lot of filling. I've never had anything like that happen before. It's very annoying.

8. Me too for I have a gag reflex and I may hate getting x rays for that
reason and the dentist usually had to use the PEDIATRIC sized x ray thingies on me.

3. Keep in mind, Homeland Security will be wishing you luck, too.
Every dental record and tooth x-ray is another step in the fight against terrorism.

4. I have my oral surgery scheduled in January-they asked if I wanted
Atavan or Nitrous Oxide. I said both.

6. Just a routine checkup, but I may not exactly look forward to getting x
rays for I have a gag reflex and one time I even :puke:d while getting dental x rays.

9. How awful
you have such dreaded fear of dentist appointments. You need a
Xanax or something before you go. I dont mind going to the dentist
but then again i was a dental assistant for years.
Good luck.

10. No worries for at least the dental staff is very aware of my difficulty in
the gag reflex department and they at least use the pediatric or smaller sized x ray thingies on me not the larger adult sized ones.

11. Ack!
I think need to make an appointment.

I had a dream last night that my whole left upper tier of teeth just fell out in a clump. :scared: I held them in my palm in horror (and could actually feel their weightiness) I was frozen in horror as i ran my tongue against the now vacant gums that used to house them.

Guess my subconscious is trying to tell me something! Lawsy! :think:
