Yeah. So sometimes, I do silly kid stuff. It helps.
Yeah, kinda.

I just don't like making appointments for stuff. Not really anything I can do that makes that fun, or makes the actual appointment tolerable. Can't be much worse than it was a kid, but I don't have high hopes

You and me both. It's been really hard on my anxiety lately, but I try to push myself and make calls that I know need to be made, and fill out forms, and all that fun stuff. :hugs

Wouldn't want to be a kid again though. Sure, not as many responsibilities, but... Lets just say it was a rough childhood, emotionally.
 
Yeah, adulting does bring lots of responsibility. I'm sorry any of you are dealing with anxiety. The more I've learned about that, the more I realize what a horrid problem it is.
:hugs
I'm hoping that I'm building it up in my head and making it seem bigger than it really will be. My mom really likes this dentist and insists that they're not going to be like the one I had as a kid, I just find it very hard to buy that

I do NOT like going to the dentist. I get nitrous every time I go - even for cleanings. That is a HUGE help (although it does cost extra $ because insurance doesn't cover it, but totally worth it for me).

I might have to ask about that. The worst part is I know I've got cavities, so putting it off isn't good, but I also honestly don't know if I can go through another filling

My dentist now has a note in my chart that I need nitrous for everything! If you let the staff know beforehand that you have really bad anxiety about dentist visits (I let them know before I schedule my first appointment), that's typically the only info they need and they will administer the nitrous no problem.

It has made such a difference in my ability to get through appointments (cleanings, fillings, I had to have a crown replaced recently). Instant relaxation! It's like a hug for your brain. :hugs
 
Dentistry has come a loooong way in catering to people who don't like going to the dentist. I know I am very lucky to have good teeth that need very little care. I get two cleanings a year, and that is it. The hygienist said last time, "They scheduled too much time for you! We're done."

I get the ultrasonic cleaning. Very, very little of the pick and scrape stuff.
