I am 29 and have not been to a dentist since I was 13 years old. Since that experience I have taken care of my teeth and am very regimental when it comes to my teeth. I had a cavity filled in when I was 13 and the dentist had to numb my mouth, he gave me a shot on the side before drilling and filling but when he began to drill I would say I could feel 80% of it. I was screaming and crying and my dad(who was in the waiting room) later told me I was being silly. I said that day that I would never go to a dentist again. I have no cavitites that I can see, my teeth are not yellow, I have no bad breath, but I know that filling will not last forever. I do have one tooth that is slightly crooked that I would like straightened. any suggestions on how to conquer this fear. and if later on I want some work done can I insist on being put under, even if the work is not major?
