Waiting in the dentist for a filling

Dreading it.

Not good with dentists having had 4 teeth out aged about 12 to make room for other teeth and having to wear a brace for protruding teeth. Was as white as a sheet and totally withdrawn and traumatised for days after. Couldn't talk for 24 hrs i was so frightened.

Last time I had a filling i had really bad sensitivity for about 5 weeks before it wore off.

Anyway, here we are 43 yrs later still with a terrible fear which has been exacerbated over the last 24 hrs after waiting in the vet hospital waiting room and hearing them chisel and hammer to take my horses tooth out yesterday. It was gross so excused myself and sat in the car because I thought I'd pass out 🤣🤣

Here he was at the hospital stuffing himself with mash 20 mins after the sedation had worn off following the procedure and getting a lump on his gum layered too. They don't have the mental anguish we have, lucky beggars!

Hoping I might manage some soup before bed tonight lol 🤣

Someone give me a kick up the arse please!

Do you want to hear the terrible joke my 15 year old came home with yesterday?
Why shouldn’t you buy trousers from Ukraine?

I could have written your post OP. 4 teeth out at 12, braces and a lifetime fear of dentists. Until I found a great dentist and discovered how much things have changed in 30+ years. It just wasn't anything near as bad as I had expected. Good luck and be sure to ask for a sticker at the end.
