Sorry you had such pain, Gwynvyd, orally and financially! I had major dental phobia for years, after a dentist got sadistic on my mouth. I didn't go back for years. When I moved to the foothills, I found my current dentist. I was embarrassed that I hadn't gone in so long but they spared me the lecture. I told them I had been hurt and was a scardy-cat and they were gentle and awesome. Now I still drive the distance to see him, because I just love him & his staff. He planted and cultivated and delivered a beautiful rose bush to my mom after my dad died. Isn't that cool?? I've been going to him for about 10 years now - he had to replace all my mercury fillings with porcelain. He accidentally drilled my tongue once because it darted in the way (he said I have an active tongue - I said that's what I hear, lol) so he gave me a free whitening to make up for it. When I needed a root canal, he sent me to a specialist who had a flat screen on the ceiling and I watched Finding Nemo on DVD and laughed at it while they worked on my tooth. When I was on my East Coast trip last fall, my crown cracked off (the one on my tooth, not the one on my head), which was interesting, but didn't hurt. But now I've come to love the feel of a good kick-ass tooth cleaning, especially when they really get deep into the gum tissue, lol. I'm such a freak. [&:]
