[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- thanks to those of you with supportive advice. To the others, I'm amazed at the vitriol for an honest, vulnerable question. I've made a random dentist apt for three weeks from now, until that point, any additional suggestions for dentists in downtown DC (Metlife insurance covered plus) that are accommodating for dental fear are greatly appreciated.[/quote] Good for you, OP. I'm the PP who posted above about my similar experience and great dentist in Rockville. If I were you, I'd call the receptionist at your new dentist's office and explain that you are extremely apprehensive. I think dentists deal with this [b]all the time[/b], and a good dentist should be able to help ease your fears. Maybe they will give you something to help you relax, or maybe they have specific things they do to help fearful patients. If the receptionist blows off your concern, I'd call a different dentist.
