It’s not that.
I have a severe gag reflex which sometimes makes getting x-rays difficult. I’m also not always able to brush and/or floss because I’ll often start gagging & dry heaving.
It’s been 3 1/2yrs since my last visit, 1st two because of COVID and last year I was engulfed in having to move back home to help care for my mom. I know I’ve got at least 2 teeth that are in trouble and my gums are a mess.
Plus, the noises from the tools ratchets up my anxiety.

Well I hope this dentist has the skills to make it as easy as possible for you.
I get anxious too, and yes there is nothing like that drill sound, but I really appreciate my current dentist.
I hope yours works well with you.
