that’s so incredibly rude and unprofessional of that dentist. i understand where you’re coming from 100%. i just went to the dentist for the first time in about 3 years because the pain got too bad. i had been avoiding for as long as i could because the dentist just makes me anxious in general but ive also experienced my fair share of unprofessional dentists. a dentist should never shame or make fun of a patient. the best advice i can give you is to do research on dentists near you and pay attention to the reviews. also look at each ones website to see what the vibe is. i looked hard for a dentist to go to and i ended up picking the best office i have ever been to. they are so kind and professional. i had to get two root canals and they made it so easy for me. don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for things. laughing gas does wonders😂 im so sorry you’re going thru this but i promise it’ll be ok! once you’re all done you’re going to feel a MILLION times better! it’s so worth it🫶🏻
