So I didn’t go for 8 years (a LOT of dental PTSD as I had a dentist with hand tremors at one point - RIP, my parents passed down some awful dental genes, I have a major sweet tooth, and I had an aggressive ortho as well)…

Dr. Boland 10000%. He’s out by the Libbie Target. Doesn’t have a website. I caved, called, and the receptionist asked how long it had been, I decided not to lie, and she was so understanding. Then I went to my appointment and Dr. Boland tells you everything he’s going to do before he does it (no surprises!) and didn’t shame me or preach at me. I have some fillings to get done that I had to postpone when I got hit with two rounds of this nasty cold, but I’m not dreading it. That reminds me, I need to call about those tomorrow.
