    I was super afraid of the dentist so I didn’t go for about the same length of time. I also picked up a habit of drinking sodie pops.

    I cracked a tooth 2 years ago and had to get a root canal. They did a checkup and found 8 cavities so over the course of a year I got them all filled.

    I am not sure if the technologies have gotten better or it was just my fear as a child but the dentist visits were very painless and stress free. The root canal hurt for a second when the roots were drilled out and that was it.

    It feels fantastic to not have any tooth pain or agitation of something getting stuck in a cavity.

      Yeah, my filling was uncomfy and nerve racking but not really painful in any way. They even do topical anesthetic before the shots so I didn’t even really feel those.

      Certainly wasn’t the case when I was a kid lol.
