Thanks for the update Karen!! I hope Maz is alright. She should be back soon. Sarah.

Maz, When you read this you can laugh because it will all be over. I do sympathize, I hate the dentist and am a nervous wreck when I have to go. I even have it written on my card that I am a nervous patient. Funny thing is, I don't mind injections but have terribly sensitive teeth, in the past have had injections for a clean. But my present dentist wont do that, he just hand cleans them gently instead, he's a lovely man. ann Glos

Hi Maz, Hope you are feeling better now that the appointment's over with. Krissie went to the dentist yesterday for root canal treatments, Steve is going tomorrow and I should go as I've got a broken tooth!! On my records I am known as Terrified-East Ham!! I know how you must've felt as I LOATHE the very thought of the place...let us know how you got on. Aileenxx

I had to go to the dentist about a month ago for two fillings which i was really dreading as i've never had any before. That nice hubby of mine kept telling me that 'it wrecks' and 'don't look at the needle' so you can imagine what state i got myself into when the day came to go, palpitations wasn't in it!! But having got there (just about), i sat down and told the dentist that i was a bit worried and d'ya know what, i need not have been. Never hardly felt a thing but my hubby did when i got home!! lol after i'd finished slavvering (spelling?) everywhere! Tracey

Hi Maz Have you been to the dentist ??? Hope everything was ok Why do they talk and ask questions when your mout is full of impression thingy's?? Mine was fine i forgot that I no longer have a nerve their any more but the blooming D Nurse soaked me not suctioning the water enough my back was drenched!!! I hope I look after my patients better than that!! Never mind over and done with till the crown arrives. Love Ann

Maz Oh boy! can I indentfy with you, I've been a bit naughty and have'nt been for over a year, its only the filling that's holding one of my back teeth together!! I'll be thinking of you. Good luck, close your eyes and think of something really nice. Yours sympathetically Lynda x

i have the same problem my filling came out in august haven't been to dentist . really phobic about them would rather suffer. sarah

Hi Maz Glad you got though today ok - good luck for the return trip at the end of May. Like somebody else (sorry can't remember who now) - I used to faint every time as a teenager. I grew out of that - and at the moment I have a brilliant dentist. Actually trust him. I never even felt the injection last month - when I had to have a feeling replaced. Liz

Hello everyone and thank you for your messages yesterday! Couldn't get on-line as hubby was hogging it ALL day - then I worked this morning. a n y w a y .... as Karen said, I've got to have TWO crowns - the one next to the broken one is cracked too. Thank goodness they are both the same side. Have got to go back on 24 May and I will be sedated - an injection in the hand that makes most people fall asleep. Have to be supervised for 24 hours afterwards - not allowed to cook or even lift a boiling kettle!!! That's the silver lining!! Hubby is still recovering from hearing the cost - £250.00!!!! I am really pleased that I don't need any other work though - no fillings today mum! And once he has cleaned them, now I have given up smoking for over a year - they will be and stay the cleanest they have been for years!!! Thanks again to everyone for your support and stories - glad to see I'm not the only one!! Maz. XX
