I can't remember any particular incident that set off this fear but for as long as I can remember, I've been terrified of the dentist. It's especially difficult because my dentist is a really nice lady!
I need to take Ativan in order to go in just for a cleaning -- and the more work that needs to be done, the more drugs I'm begging for.
Ativan helps me to relax (although I usually cry during the drive over to the office) and I don't remember a thing afterward. In fact, I remember so little that when I stopped at the dentist's office one day to drop off some papers, a lady came around the corner and said hi to me and I couldn't place her. She started to laugh and said "I'm your dentist!"
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's terrified but I still hate going!
