dentophobia

When i was younger i had lots of dental work done... a retainer for a couple of years and then braces. I didn't mind going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and i even sometimes enjoyed it. My last visit to the dentist was shortly before Matt and I married, 7 years ago. 7 years has done a lot to my teeth... well i should say 3 pregnant has done a lot to my teeth, between cravings of starlight mints and lemons and a strange obsession with wanting to brush my teeth 5 times a day. I'm not sure when it started, but I've been scared to go to the dentist. And now finally i can put it off no more. This morning while i was flossing and then brushing my teeth i noticed a big hole... one of my fillings was gone. SIGH.. i thought to myself, now i HAVE to go to the dentist. I called up my friend maria for moral support (thanks maria) and then called to make an appointment. I go in tomorrow... Maybe i should have looked up a dentist that does sedation dentistry. Either way... not excited about tomorrow, but i know that i will survive. Hopefully they will be nice to me and I'll be able to overcome my slight case of dentophobia. :S
