I am phobic of Dentists
The pain of broken teeth is not new to me, but I would rather stick my head in a wasp nest than visit a dentist... Until today.

I broke another tooth in my already imperfect smile and was distraught. My fear of the Dentist spans years and brings with it a dark and hateful loathing of all things mouth related.

Carol my better (and more sensible half) arranged for me to see a kind compassionate Dentist and drove me there too. I lost the ability to speak as we approached the entrance and I began to breath hard as fear clutched at my soul. Carol held my hand and kept me in control.

Then I had to sit in that fucking chair. Carol continued to hold my hand and communicate for me to the Dentist, who was a very nice South African woman. Despite not having been to the Dentist for twenty years I only need to have two fillings and two cracked wisdom teeth removed.

Filling number one was done for me today, as I held Carol's hand and I will admit cried with terror. Half way through the process I caught Carol's eye and she whispered "I love you" at me and I knew I could cope.

Filling done and tooth now capped I walked out of there £50 lighter and mouth numb. I am having to go into Hospital to have the wisdom teeth done because my phobia is so strong I will need to be put under and Carol is going to take me to that one aswell.

So thank you to my new Dentist, who I did like, despite not being able to speak. However a huge thank you must go to Carol who had to put up with my nightmares, awful mood this morning and having her hand crushed in mine.

Thank you Carol, I love you so very much.

These days, dentists're great.
My last dentist once deliberately asked me questions when my mouth was propped wide open, then said 'Sorry, I don't understand Klingon!'
Still makes me giggle to think about it.

Dentists *shudder*
Although I'm a lot better now and don't walk out of the dentist's office anymore.

The fear of losing my teeth outways the fear of dentist surgeries now.
