Too Scared to go to the dentist
Need a cleaning but scared of going to the dentist.
I know that my teeth has plaque build up on them. It has been a few years since I have been to the dentist. Although I know I need to get them clean, I am afraid the dentist is going to hurt me. How much does it hurt to get your teeth cleaned? If I have a lot of plaque will it hurt more to have a dentist scrape it off? Hate to go now I have to please advise me on what kind of pain should I be expecting.

Here is what I think, by not going to the dentist for a few years you may have more then just plaque build up on your teeth. Your general cleanings normally do not hurt at all. Deep cleaning can hurt but it is normally nothing to cry about. Some dentist even numb your gums when doing a deep cleaning so that you do not feel a thing.
What can hurt at least in your wallet, would be things such as, root canals, crown, extractions, dentures etc. Which are just some of the things that may happen to you if you continue to do nothing. Stop using the excuse that you are scared of the dentist. I be more scared of getting a tooth ache. Now those hurt.

Ah come on Kay some people really are too scared to go to the dentist. You need to be more understanding. I hear you Whitie. Who really likes going to the dentist? If you are scared of the dentist, then it takes effort to go even though you may know that you need too.
There are many good blogs about fare of going to the dentist that are listed here in this forum. Try looking for those to help you with controlling your fares.
Cause when it comes down to it you will still need to go to the dentist. Kay was right when she stated that a toothache will hurt much more that any cleaning a dentist would do.
