I am going to the Dental clinic soon.

To be honest, i am afraid of them

I will be doing,

Amalgam: A silver colored dental filling made of mix of silver, tin, mercury, and some other trace elements like copper. Advantages- placement easier than other materials, cost. Disadvantage- color, breaks down 10-20 years.

I think they have a white colour one now. Its much more expensive.


So i voted yes

im not afraid Dentist. There is nothing to afraid

terrified

I had my wisdom teeth pulled today, got two IV sedatives and a week supply of vicodin. I'm loving the dentist right now.

Nightmare!!!

Ate you sure?

I'm 50/50. If really no choice I have to see a dentist too. But I will try my best to take care of my teeth all the time so that I can avoid to see a dentist.

Well im really afraid not from the dentist , but from those drilly machines with that sound like zzzzzzz ouch

Strange, but although I didn’t feel afraid, as soon as the dentist approached I fainted.
Quite true, this went on for many years, in the end I used to have a full anesthetic just to have a check up. Then I met a dentist who specialized in curing this fear or phobia (whatever it is) and I now have no problems at all.

About amalgam fillings, I was in hospital once and met a young woman who was having most of her tongue removed, through cancer, the result of sucking amalgam fillings? they said it was rare, but it can happen (I don't know?).
So with my new found confidence in the dentist, I spent the next 3 months having all of my fillings removed and replaced with white ones.

thrilling moment

I know what you feel now

It is neccessary evil but without that life would be much more complicated

Be brave mate! Everything will be just good

I have always shun the Dentist like a plague until recently. (after 20years of absence)

Thanks to my Mrs-to-be, she gamely encouraged me to try this Apple Dental @ Bedok North.

This dentist has such a calming aura that each time I sat on his chair I no longer feel like vomitting (whic I used to, everytime) and he he actutally hymns while working. His soothing voice getting us to relax miraculously work somehow I almost felt I am hypnotised at his behest.

In other words, I am sold man
