As far as going to the dentist. I know all about the fears except, I literally have lived in the Dentist chair forever. I have had so much dental work its totally not funny.. I was told from a young age my dental problems were heredity and that things so matter what I did preventive wise would not matter. So actually from the age of 20 till 43 I lost all my teeth had them all removed but before that I had so many root canals and so many fillings and needles in my mouth I believe I hold the world record. So at this point 14 implants in my mouth and then I wear a 6 piece teeth bridge that I take in and out.As far as needles they do not bother me at all I guess because of all the many years of all the dental workI have had..But listen to me what does give me a huge anixiety attack sitting in that dentist chair, is when they want to put cotton tubes in my mouth. I totally feel like I am going to swallow them and gag and choke.. I have a huge huge fear of choking. But please hon do stop going to the dentist because someone you will pay for it..Try to take something to relax you because it horrible to loss all your teeth so young and the longer you wait the harder it becomes to go to the horrible dentist. HOnestly with all the technology that we have today dental work should be so much more easier to handle and they should have done away with those horrible needles by now.. peace and good luck,, I totally feel for you and anyone who suffers from panic attacks or fear of the dentist, its all too real.. Peace.. Catherine
