Oh dear, @Sister - I really feel for you with the dentist. My father, uncle, godfather and brother were all dentists ..... and I STILL hate going to them! I am hanging onto those seat handles SO TIGHTLY - and toes pointing to the wall ..... trying to look calm & self assured .....
My last 'fix' took 4 visits due a dodgy dentist trying to convince me I needed a root canal & payment plan - anyone else may have 'fallen for his bullshit' but I knew enough to know I had no such problem! Then a visit to his boss to explain why I would never see HIM again & he did a bandaid solution ... then the tooth shattered & so did their machine & so finally it was 'done' on the fourth visit! No discount tho! :(
