As part of my Mind, Body and Soul Mission Summer 2008 the dreaded dental visit was a part of the plan. I realize that caring for your mouth is good for your overall well being. I just have a problem with the whole idea of "the dentist." The anxiety I feel as soon as I smell the dentist office is too much. I scheduled my dental work, sticking true to my plan of working my mission for the summer, and my dentist told me I had to replace one filling that was cracked, have two root canals and one implant. The was just wonderful and I was soo excited. Thankfully, my root canals ended up being fillings and my implant can be put off...as in indefinitely. I had my teeth cleaned and scaled and the only thing left to do was have two of my fillings covered with crowns. Life was looking so much better. I have no idea why I have such anxiety in regards to the dentist. By the way, my dentist is super and I will include his information for anyone living in Egypt. He works with several different doctors in a very clean, professional clinic.
