I broke a molar last week. It doesn't hurt, and my dentist was out of town all week, so I made an appointment for today to have it looked at. I love my dentist. He's great, the staff is great, the clinic itself is nice. And yet. I woke up two hours earlier that I wanted to this morning, stomach churning with nerves. WHY? Why? Why? Why? I'm comfortable with the processes and the people, I should not have anxiety about this appointment.
My doctor calls this "white coat fever". He says many folks get anxious before a trip to the doctor - any doctor. I hate it, though. I hate the physical feelings, and the emotional part isn't much better. I like to think of myself as a tough chick. Kind of hard to do when I really just want to hide in my closet until my appointment passes, LOL. Okay, I'm done stalling. Cross your fingers that I don't need a crown ~
White Coat Fever is what makes my BP so high when I see my doctor. But she's just not buying it. Hope your visit went smoothly and that your nerves settled down. I know exactly what you feel. take care. PS) I hope the only crown you get today is one you borrowed from Diva to stick on top of your head. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am the same way. You can like the people ever so much but the dentist is not a fun place to go.
