The Dentist
I have never been timid of visits to the dentist, but recently I had to get my two top wisdom teeth extracted.
On Friday I was very very nervous before going to the dentist. Now needles do not bother me, but it was the thought of getting my teeth yanked out while I was awake that bothered me.
Thankfully, the experience was not too traumatising apart from getting a bit panicky when the anaesthetic was put in the roof of my mouth and it felt like my mouth was starting to swell up.
The crunching sound was not too pleasant either but thankfully the whole process was over and done with in half an hour. And I have had no bruising, swelling or much pain at all. Now that is a blessing!!!
Unfortuantely I am making another trip to the dentist today. It looks as though I might be having a second root canal. I had one in January.
After this I really hope I have no more trouble with my teeth. Maybe it's easier having false ones!!

That sux about the root canal but good to hear that you havent had too much pain etc from having your wisdom teeth out. I remember one time i had an xray done of my jaw a few years back (when i was having braces on my bottom teeth) and they could already tell my wisdom teeth were going to go crooked :/
