Going to the dentist.

I know, common fear…but I have very high sensitivity in my teeth. And my jaw, and to loud, shrill noises, and bright lights. So the dentist is a 3 for 3 unpleasant experience for me.

I’m trying to get past it, but as an adult, I have to kick myself in the pants sometimes and get through it.

And pray. Praying helps.

One top, don’t be afraid to request different accommodation like not using the air prayer, or cold water, or using a different kind of numbing agent if you’re like me, and react strongly to lidocaine. There are a lot of options for people with different sensitivity.

It’s still not fun, but it makes it better.

Also I wear earplugs now for the drilling part. My own idea.
