Dental fear and a general update on things

I've been blogging for about six months now. My goal was to write approximately once or twice a week (about anything really), and I've done that pretty much. Except lately I haven't (but I'll try, I haven't changed my goal).

I have been contemplating my future quite a bit, but there's nothing definite yet to tell. And I've been visiting dentist, and it's taken a lot of my energy.

I've avoided going for years, and there's a lot of dental work to be done. So far it's been going okay, and I advice all dental phobics to make an appointment. Easier said than done, I know. :) There are financial reasons for not going beside the fear, and my dental fear isn't really as severe as it could be, but I've had some bad experiences in the past, and admittedly I've never taken good enough care of my teeth - but that's changed, for good.

For me at least the first step was the hardest, so I guess I would suggest dental phobics to search for information on the web, and start planning the visit, bribe yourself if you have to. The best advice I have is to change your dentist if he/she is unempathetic, and makes you feel bad. There are good ones out there.
