I have a crippling fear of dentists. Just think about it now is making my heart race. Needless to say, I ignored a cracked wisdom tooth until it flared up into unbelivable pain. Dr. Gallagher's office got me in the next morning. The doctor spent plenty of time explaining the extraction and calming me down. Regardless, I chose to spend the extra cash and undergo sedation. I went under, woke up and never had to deal with the pain, fear or uncomfort. I LOVE HIM.
