Answers:
Cause going to the dentist is one of the most dreaded things. I'm 40+ and still hate it w/ a vengence. I haven't had a bad/painfull visit in a long,long time, but just thinking of going puts me off.
I guess you just have to suck it up, and then plan an extra special treat for after the dentist appt. get a pedi or a manicure - hot fudge sundae, go to the movies w/ a friend.
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get a pedicure while you have your teeth done! Maybe watch a movie on the ceiling.
See if you can listen to your ipod, or headphones while he's poking around inside your mouth - I went to an oral surgeon that had an entire CD file of all kinds of music, while the procedure was unpleasant - it wasn't half as bad as it could have been w/o music.
dont go to the dentist :)
