Conquering Your Fear of the Dentist

Are you afraid to go to the dentist? If so, you aren't alone. I was one of those who were right there with you. In fact, I didn't go to the dentist for over nine years. Not until one of my teeth broke, and I was in so much pain that I was forced to make an appointment. My name is Jane Greenfield.

Things such as sedation dentistry, updated technology, and new techniques have changed the way things are done. If I can go to the dentist without having a panic attack, you can too.
