When I first started going to the Dentist they still used the foot pedal to make the drill spin. I remember that as he talked to my parents he would lose concentration and slow down which did not help the pain!
Took many years before i could face returning, toothaches managed it, but it was still not enjoyable. I eventually did, as a few years ago when a fellow runner stared up a practice locally and I was impressed with how advanced it was. Now go regularly with no fear no matter what the procedure. Well that's a lie - I'm still scared what the final bill will be!!
All the best Dee and remember that the dentist wants you to have ALL the treatments as it means they can have a better holiday - Nothing to do with all those jelly Babies then?
Fingers crossed on the pred reduction.
Be nice to your kids, they will choose your nursing home.
