After dragging my feet for almost 2 months, I finally had a root canal that was desperately needed. Dr. Gallatin, in Destin (near the bridge, just past Taco Bell), was excellent. I don't believe he had a patient as afraid as I was. I only wanted nitrous oxide, which he doesn't use. But because he is a specialist, I thought I would try to be brave. He gave me a prescription for valium, which I had never had, and I took my ipod with me (thanks Paula for this advice.)
I told him about my past experience, which was being left by myself, while having an allergic reaction to I think the rubber dam. He promised he wouldn't leave and explained everything he was doing. Between the valium, his explaining, the ipod and keeping my eyes closed, I made it through in about a half an hour.
If I can do this, anyone can. He made it almost painless.
