Admit it! You may have experienced "dental fear" in your life time.

The thought of going to the dentist brings on fear and dread. And about that Novocaine. You know what I'm talking about.

Walking out of the dentist's office after having a filling and feeling like your lips are missing in action. You feel like you're drooling down the side of your face.

I had no idea there were actually dentists that deal specifically with patients who have phobias about the scraping and drilling. That's good to know. It's also good to know that technology like single tooth anesthesia is helping to calm nerves as well, quite literally.
