Yep! I was one of those who hesitated for years because I was embarrassed of my teeth. I was told I needed 19 fillings. Well I finally decided that it was time to smile without shame. I had no emergency and in no pain, so I guess it was that I made up my mind. The dentist was gentle and very professional...that helped. I did get a needle - which I felt a slight sting. Other than that, I'm feeling good about myself. *Helpful hint for those that are scared, embarrassed or ashamed to go....take your ipod, MP3, walkman, whatever you have with music that you like and totally blast it when the doctor starts his/her work. That's what I did and I totally tuned the drill and all those other scary noises out! Oh and don't forget to close your eyes! Good luck and just DO IT!!! P.S. 12 fillings left to go :)

That's sweet your giving advice about going to the dentist...Once you're there it's not so bad. We put ourselves through this mental trip. After the dentist is done you wonder Y you put it off so long.
