I am scared of going to the dentist. It has always been a fear.
I completely relate! I'm scared of going to the dentist too. I put it off for a long time and it just makes the anxiety it worse... have you done that?
Yes I have. I am actually putting it off right now, as I have been having tooth pains on the right side for a few months now. I can barely eat on that side.
Ugh yeah, me too. I had a root canal a couple of years ago (where they remove the root from the tooth and put a cap on) and the tooth shaped cap doesn't sit right... 
I heard root canals are super painful! Does that cause you discomfort, the cap not sitting right?
The root canal itself wasn't too bad but yeah, the cap/crown not sitting right causes pressure against my other teeth. I think it'd be considered "dental trauma" at this point since it's been a couple of years and has caused some of my other teeth to shift.
Oh wow! If only going to the dentist weren't so scary and costly!
I know, right? When I had it done it was a dental emergency, I had put it off too long and the broken tooth that had to be fixed ended up with an abcess... That was so expensive to fix and it took me so long to pay off that I've just been avoiding going ever since. Dental work is prohibitively expensive if you don't have insurance...
Definitely. My boyfriend is missing his two front teeth and he just can't seem to save the money to get them fixed. It causes him horribly self esteem issues.

Some months ago, I used to wake up in the silence of the night to think about what I was going to do. But not anymore. People ask me, 'Are you scare?' No, I am not scared. If I was, I wouldn't do it. Rather, I'm excited. I am putting one third of my energy into just staying calm. The work is on such a scale that if you got too excited, you would explode,". The show was her first
