I did it!

My first unsedated dentistry in 20 years.
(Well a little diazapam but still conscious..usually I have to be put out!!)
Severely phobic after having two teeth removed uneccessarily (turned out to be Trigeminal Neuralgia) But I needed a big filling replaced and had to go private and the dentist was lovely. Listened to me, gave time for the anaesthetic to work, and with some serious loud music blasting into my ear buds... I did it!!!

I also got molds done today to replace the missing back teeth.

It's taken me 20 years to get over my terror after my awful experience so today feels like a GOOD DAY!

Wow well done, I nearly didn't even read your post once I realised it was about dental work, I'm also very phobic. I posted on Friday that I'd finally managed to go to the dentist after suffering. I need a root canal but trying to feel positive especially after reading this.

So pleased for you!

Well done! I have also managed to overcome a dental phobia, after a bad experience as a child.

It has been life changing. Huge congratulations to you both!

Pat yourself on your back! Time to celebrate - this is a milestone!
