I Want a Dentist Who Won’t Judge Me

I hate going to the dentist and only went because I have a massive toothache. My dentist was a complete jerk about it and said I wouldn’t have these problems if I would actually come like I’m supposed to. I almost left, but my mouth was in too much pain. So, are there dentists who […]

Is a Rotted Off Wisdom Tooth a Problem?

I have a wisdom tooth that has been a problem for a while. It never really hurt, I could just see the decay on it. It looks like it has rotted off now. To me, that should be the end of things, but my wife is insisting that I at least contact a dentist to […]

Sedation Dentistry Saved My Smile

I thought I’d post a letter of gratitude we received from a woman who is not our patient, but benefited from something she read on our blog. I’ve also posted our response. I just wanted to send a note to say thank you. I read on your blog about someone who, like me had trouble […]

Not Sure I Can Go Back to The Dentist

I grew up without going to the dentist. My parents weren’t neglectful. They tried but there just wasn’t enough money to go around. We had food, clothing, and lots of love.

Dentist Wants to Restore ALL of my teeth

I’ve gotten myself into a situation and now I’m having second thoughts. I have been having trouble keeping all of my teeth healthy. I have three that need dental crowns already. My dentist suggested that I have bad teeth and we should just crown all of them to save time. I don’t feel all that […]

Will I Lose My Memories with Dental Sedation?

I have a pretty extreme phobia of the dentist. They recommended I use dental sedation. At first, I was cool with that. But, then they told me that I would probably not even remember the appointment. Not to sound paranoid or anything, but that sort of terrifies me just as much. I was embarrassed to […]

I need some advice. I have two teeth that hurt so badly that I cannot even eat anymore. I am in absolute agony. I know you are going to tell me to go to the dentist but I am absolutely terrified of them. Even just thinking about going makes me almost throw up, which I […]

Sedation Dentistry for a Recoverying Addict

I was a drug addict for many years. I went to rehab when I realized what I was doing to myself. I was 26 and looked like I was over double that age. I am on methadone maintenance while I deal with my recovery. In the meantime, I am trying to get my body as […]
