anyone ever been to a sedation dentist? I know there is one in Mcpherson

[Gracie Dean]

but have yet to find one in ICT


I am going to my dentist on Monday. HE is a very good dentist...very calm and not judgemental and he really tries to minimize pain, but still


I have three cavities (occurring in the last 8 years) and I know I need to go but I am so scared...I hate dentists


so, I heard a commercial about a sedation dentist, and wondered if it was worth it to have someone drive me an hour away

or just suck up and face the shots

Only when it's socialized dentistry.

Just let your teeth rot. Christ, I've seen three year old kids that have more gumption than you.

What's with the "don't like IV's"? It a butterfly needle, that goes right into the antecubital vein, it's lights out and done.

Try being an adult, candy ass.

Dont feel bad man. I hate shots too, just something about them, especially in the mouth, or eye etc.

I had a piece of metal stuck in my face once, just below the right eye, and it starting forming a cyst. When the Dr cam around and started to jab a needle in my face just below my eye, I refused and told them to go ahead and just use the lance. They were confused since the lance was going to hurt more, I just said I have a phobia of needles, especially when it is near my eye.

So, I guess I am just stupid and irrationally afraid of needles, not the pain. Its pretty lame and keeps me from seeing Dr's sometimes.

I am pretty strong and strong willed about many things

but wave a needle in front of me meant for my mouth or IV's I become worse than a 2 year old

don't know what it is or why...it just is
