    I got back from the dentist a few hours ago. I was in the chair for two hours. He had to remove an old crown, drill out decay, and fit me for a new crown (starting with a temp).

    Modern dentistry (for the last 30 - 40 years) is almost completely painless. I actually look forward to going b/c I like to joke with the beautiful Asian girls at the reception desk.

    What is it that seems scary?

    • They swab the gum with a Q-tip and a mild anesthetic before giving the lidocaine shot. Sure, it's a little painful, but it's much LESS painful than a lot of other things in life. Example: slap yourself in the face. It hurts, but you're probably not afraid of it, right? A slap in the face is MUCH more painful than the lidocaine shot. I'm just putting it into perspective.

      Yes. Yes I do.
      Just kidding! :-)

      Fear of the dentist is 98% psychological. You've heard the expression, "It was just a pin-prick." I.e., it was no big thing. Compare the injection to stubbing your toe, a bee sting, or cutting your finger. All those examples are much worse than a shot with a tiny needle. No biggy.
      Take care.
