Dentist

Hate 'em! I think in a past life I was either buried alive or hung. because I absolutely can not take people or things close to my head and necklaces or things around my neck really bother me. So the dentist, beside causing pain when picking at my teeth also makes me feel claustrophobic. Just to demonstrate how bad a problem I have with this, I had my first panic attack when the orthodontist was trying to put on my braces. They put this thing in my mouth to hold my tongue down and that was it. Also, everytime I get a facial (which I don't do often) I have to take a deep breath and think about other things especially when they put that warm towel over my face covering everything but my nose. In the cold light of day, all of this seems really crazy up until I have the dental hygenist leaning over me. Well, I made it through a cleaning today but sometime this year they will have to put implants in so I will be a real basket case. Another odd thing you now know about me!
