When I went to the dentist after 15 yrs, I had to get some work done. My first appointment was general diagnostics and establishing my needs. I was shaking and my Dr realised that. He just went back a little, looked at the scans and told me, that I need one tooth removed and two implants. I asked him, if I could get anaesthesia and he said in some, I don`t know - way: No, I don`t think, you`ll need that, I get you through this. And I just believed him - I don`t know why. I had to get another 8 appointments, I did some dentalhygiene, new composit fillings and after around 2,5 months, I had new teeth and I don`t feel anything anymore. The one thing, I can remember, that helped alot was, that he didn`t overexplain things. I am no professional anyway, so it wouldn`t have helped, if he would have described me each step along the way. A general: It`s a little implant, takes me 2 Minutes each, in 20 Minutes you will be out of the chair again. That`s it, I didn`t have to know more. And, as he told me, the procedure took less than 10 Minutes, pulling a tooth, 2 Implants. I had to wait for local anaesthesia to develop around 10 Minutes. The rest was a joke. It even went so far to not needing any local anaesthesia for the new fillings...
I'M ANXIOUS JUST THINKING ABOUT TOOTH EXTRACTION . SINCE I GOT ENDOCARDITIS YEARS AGO, AFTER WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE. I SURE WISH YOU WERE MY DOCTOR. TQ KINDLY 😊
I wish this dentist was mine.. The dentist I recently had to return to after haven had an extraction was so traumatising I am now starting counselling as I can’t stop crying and feel like the worse failure ever … The dentist practice was informed of my fear and how it came about …To ad to the problem I now have unfinished dental work and the Owner of the practice has declined to keep me as patient…
Most dental phobias are the result of traumatic dental treatments in childhood. In the 50's and 60's dentists didn't use novocaine before filling teeth. The pain was excruciating.
Title to this video made me feel bad. I’m not difficult I’m just really scared from a traumatic dental visit and it gives me panic attacks.
Wish you were my dentist. Felt calmer just listening to you.

I've been on the brink of suicide over upcoming dentist appointments. Your suggestions are the things that make the biggest difference for me. Thanks.
