Dental Care, I have not been to the dentist in over seven years
I really am scared of dentist I always have been even just to go for a cleaning makes me freek out. I take excessive care of my teeth by brushing three to four times a day and I floss at least twice a day. Now however, my husband and I want to start a family.
My husband said that I need to go to the dentist to have my teeth and gum checked out before we start having a child because when I am pregnant if I start to have teeth issues it will be even harder on me to go to the dentist. I know he means well but it only gets me upset.
What will a dentist do on a first visit? Were do I find on that can be understanding of my worries. Please advise me. My husband is hold to his word that he wants me to see a dentist first.
