I had just a bit of time before we have to go to the psychologist and I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the replies. It seems everyone has things they are afraid of, even fish, there are some really big and ugly ones. I confess I do own some, but they are pretty ones. Speaking of fish, my daughter is in my face with big fishy-like eyes being nosey. I do have good news, thank goodness. Clean bill of dental health, phew! What a relief. The Dentist told me what a good job I do of taking care of my teeth. I was so glad to hear that. I do like my dentist. It's all the procedures that I don't like, along with the smells and the sounds. I even told him today that if he retires I won't know what to do without him. It was another dentist I had as a child that was so awful. I've also always tried to make sure Becca has a positive experience at the Dentist. She doesn't seem to mind, except like Shannon, the orthodontic part of it. No braces yet. I'm actually still hoping for a miracle because Becca is so terrible at brushing her teeth. I have to literally chase her with the toothbrush sometimes. I tell her she will thank me later for it. Of course I'll probably be all white at that point with my hair just about gone from tearing it out, LOL. Thank goodness she never had any of the negative experiences I had as a child and we have a really good Dentist and wonderful hygienists. I truly hope one of these days I will be able to get over my anxiety. Thanks so much for your thoughtful and understanding replies.
