A few months ago I had to have considerable dental work done. For five years or more intense fear had kept me from having work of any extent done, and the need had become very great.
This time the sense of fear was so great that twice when I went to make an appointment I was unable to do so. Unreasoning fear completely overwhelmed me, and I returned home without making my appointment.
Finally I went to a practitioner for help, and was treated. I made my appointment with the dentist, and when the day came. I went almost entirely free from nervousness.
