Is it only me, or do other people dread going to the dentist? I dread it so much that I go as little as possible - once every 5 years or more - even if I'm in some pain.

Why? I think it's because I had a horrible experience when I was 9 years old. The dentist was working on my teeth, and it hurt. I was a very quiet girl (shy) and didn't say anything, but I had tears streaming down my cheeks. He just kept going. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it now.

Anyway, I had an appointment with a new dentist today - Dr. Tom Delaney in Wentzville, Missouri. I was not looking forward to it at all. I had heard that he was interested in making dentistry a pleasant, painless experience (especially for those who had bad experiences in the past), so I chose him.

He was very kind and asked about my dental past. I started to tell him and found myself tearing up. I felt rather silly, but he was very understanding.
To make a long story short, I think I had the best dental experience that I've ever had. Maybe I won't dread it so much next time... :)
