Going to the dentist is one of those things that absolutely fucking sucks, but sucks less than the alternative of not going to the dentist, unfortunately.
The lack of stability and positive role models in my life has led to having some absolutely fucked teeth. Today is going to hurt, but if I get all of my work done before March, I won't have to pay for any of it. After that, though, I think my teeth are going to be held on with tape and prayers (or more accurately toothpaste, mouthwash, Panadol, and prayers)
If you can, get a referral to Western Special Needs Dentistry - they are so damn good and completely non-judgey. They do a lot of work for people with sensory issues and phobias and are completely up to speed on that sort of thing. See my comment below.
