How Patients Feel

11I was not allowed to have Novocain as a child because my fundamentalist Christian mother read an article in a Jesus magazine that said Novocain could cause brain damage in children. I had lots of deep cavities drilled and filled without Novocain. I grew up with a fear of all dentists. A coworker told me about his fear of dentists, and how he got past it with Dr Vessali. I was way overdue for a cleaning and checkup, so I thought, “What the heck? If things get uncomfortable, I give myself permission to run out of the office in terror.” Dr Vessali took time to get to the bottom of my fear of dentists before she picked up an instrument. She shared HER story of HER fear of dentists with me. “At last, a dentist who hears me and relates to me.”
