[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had the same experience and it had been 4 years since my last trip to the dentist. But I knew I had a cavity and really needed to go. Based on recommendations on DCUM, I went to see Dr. Dwight Mueller in Rockville (Wintergreen Plaza). Things that impressed me about Dr. Mueller:

--He's extremely gentle
--He is non-judgmental-- he didn't say a word to me about my poor dental appointment history, didn't lecture me about flossing, none of that.
--He does the cleaning himself, and like I said above, is very, very gentle.
--He is friendly and has great stories to talk about while he's working on you. He told me all about his family and just seemed like a wonderful guy.

I had to get a cavity filled and it was pretty extensive. The procedure took an hour. But he couldn't have been kinder and I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I felt so much better after I went, and I have scheduled a 6 month checkup.

It would be a bit of a trek for you from DC, but he is worth it! I promise it won't be as bad as you fear.[/quote]
