I too was a miserable patient as a child. If you ask my Mom, she never would have thought I would end up in the field. I love it and really was planning on Dental School but divorced with two little boys, hygiene was a more economical degree.
Dentistry has come a long way. If you have fears, ask around, word of mouth is the best for knowing the dentists chairside manners. Use Nitrous to get through it, eventually you can wean yourself off of the need. Start slow. The biggest thing, get your preventative done and often. It is harder and more expensive when you are in pain. Remember this: if you never change your cars oil then eventually it will cost you much more money and destroy the car faster.
Preventive is the key!!! Never too late to start.
Okay this is my public service announcement for the day. LOL You can love your dentist!
