Im scared to go to the dentist for a checkup?

I didn't go for 3 years and when I did I cried like a child and nearly hyperventilated because the dentist makes me so nervous, just keep in mind you will be in a lot more pain if you don't go. If you don't take care of your teeth infections are excruciating and things will only get worse. So go get everything taken care of then start taking better care of your teeth and next time you go it should only be for a routine check up :)
