Anyone else with an irrational fear of the dentist?

Posted , 12 users are following.

I just made myself an appointment with my dentist. It took me several hours to get up the courage to make the call! What in the world?! I've always, always hated going to the dentist but this is just absurd! I don't like going to medical doctors either, but had no problems going when I was feeling so horrible last year. I don't know why I have such a huge problem with dentists! My appointment is next week, now I'm going to try my hardest to just let it go and act like a normal, mature adult and not think about it constantly and stress about it! Anyone else hate going to the dentist?
