Especially once there's problems like wisdom teeth and such. I had gone to the same dentist my whole childhood. I was shocked how different the visits became after I hit 18.
Haha you guys are hilarious. It's not really that bad. Slightly uncomfortable for half an hour maybe. If it really is horrible, you need a new dentist.
Having said that, I'm currently scared to go because I think he might tell me I need my wisdom teeth out

I have a major dentist phobia... I didn't go for years, then had to endure 6 months of hell.
If you are uncomfortable, tell them up front you'd like some kind of tranq. They prescribed me .25mg Triazolam pills, and they were MAGIC!
Without it, I'd be tense and cranky and I'd cry... seriously, phobias SUCK. With the pill, I stroll in, stroll out and almost forget it ever happened.

I was taking the .25mg and it was working fine. One day, it must not have fully absorbed or whatever, and I was pretty nervous. The dentist told me to take 2 of them next time, as .5mg was still a safe dose.
Well, I'm a pretty big dude with decent drug tolerance, but I can honestly say .5mg of Triazolam will FUCK YOU UP.

I haven't been in probably 7 years either. I just don't see the need to go if I take good care and don't have any problems.

every one should go at least once a year. I stopped going for a loooong time (10+ years) and when i finally got into see a dentist again found out i had peridontal disease. It's not a fun feeling when your dentist says you're the youngest person she's seen with the disease in her career.
Not the case with everyone i know, i also happen to be cursed with a family history of dental problems. Also the main cause of my problem is that i can't sleep with my mouth closed no matter how much i try so my mouth dries out over night which is really really bad for your teeth.
So now i go to the dentist two or three times a year to get deep cleanings and work done, last year i had 4 or 5 teeth filled in and i have a bunch more to go. It really sucks to get all the work done but it's better then losing my teeth. I'm also forced to carry around a small bottle of listerine and a travel brush and paste set so i can brush my teeth during the day at the university. It sucks to brush your teeth in the bathroom, but then again, ill take being embarrassed over losing my teeth anyday
-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

It went well, despite my horrible hangover. I almost did puke all over the dentist. They took a billion X-Rays and that plastic thing hurts. My wisdom teeth are gonna come out, and I have on tooth to be worked on. He said my teeth look pretty good for someone who hasn't been to the dentist in so long. They had to reschedule my cleaning because the x-rays took forever. I still felt like shit on the way home so I called out of work and just ordered a pizza .

I haven't been in about 8 or 9 years, but I have never had a cavity. I feel so lucky. I fucking hate the dentist lol. And I hate teeth.
