Go go go! You'll feel better after. Even if it's worse than you think it is, you feel good knowing what the situation is and making an informed decision what to do next.

Also, I'm in my 40's and dentists now are way better than they used to be.

You can even get laugh gas I think to make it nice and easy if you're really worried. But in my experience, that's not necessary.

Yeah I am thinking of either getting a laughing gas or whatever else they have to drug me. All dentists refused to give me anything and it meant I never came back. The new dentist I found offers consultations prior treatment for nervous patients so I am going to insist on at least something. I've been to therapy many times over the years and unfortunately it never worked, I can have blood tests and panic attack free now so that's a progress but having a dental treatment is a whole lot of different thing.

Thank you very much for your encouragement, it means a lot. I might contact my dentist tonight for the first visit
