Thanks. I stopped going back in 2001 once I was off my parent's insurance and didn't go back until 2009 so you're not terrible or alone in avoiding the dentist. The only reason I went back is because I was having headaches and tooth pain....which apparently was caused by having several cavities >_<. So that made me realize that I had to start going regularly even if I hated it. Although, interestingly enough, when I returned to my dentist office in 2009 their operations had changed and they were making a point of including people's dentist fears on people's records so that the dentists and hygienist can be aware and adjust for that. So I found that helpful too.

No problem, I completely understand. I use to have it in my profile but I am Canadian, from Newfoundland to be exact. You're in Ontario, right?
