I've had a crippling fear of the dentist for many years, so much so that I hadn't been for the best part of 10-12 years, then over the last couple of months my front teeth started showing signs of wear and then suddenly I lost three front teeth in quick succession, I had to summon up all my reserves just to make an appointment, 3 weeks ago I went along and to my horror she said I needed to have eight teeth removed, I couldn't possibly cope with that ??, I went along for some bits and bobs 2 weeks in a row and she was preparing me for the big event which was today, She was well aware that I'm off to Dubai / Abu Dhabi on business this Saturday and would be attending meetings and I couldn't go to those meetings looking like Albert Steptoe, anyway I've been wetting myself with fear all week knowing it was drawing near to the appointment and unbelievably I managed to go through with it and I have a great smile for the first time in years, now I know this is no big deal to some but it is a real phobia of mine and I believe I've cracked it and I'm proud of myself for facing my fears.
