I am your typical babyboomer-the fear was unreal - I knew I had to go my daughters recommended Dr. Rosenblatt-as I sat waiting my turn the shaking would not stop-there was a book in the waiting "fear of the dentist for dummys" I read it and the shaking stopped a little-when they called my name there they where again. Sitting in the chair all I could see was the TV - no instruments - no dentist smell - the staff was beyond kind, their tone was relaxing and the fact that they asured me that the proceedure was no big deal (I had to have three teeth pulled) I just told myself no big deal. The Dr. came and started to do his thing - as I thought this is truly my last day to live - the next thing I knew he asked me if I was OK and I was - to that he said we are finished - did not feel a thing then or that night or the next day when his staff called to see if I was OK - and they call a week later - I love those guys had I known how simple things have become since I last was at the dentist believe me there wouldn't be a problem now.
