I avoided the dentist for years out of fear.
I know the anxiety, the embarrassment, and the sleepless nights. But I also know the relief of finally getting it done. This is the judgment-free guide to overcoming dental fear - from someone who has actually been there.
Hi, I’m Avi. I used to be terrified of the dentist.
If you are reading this with a knot in your stomach, I want you to know: You are not broken, and you are not alone.
For 10 years, I avoided the dental chair completely. It wasn't just laziness, and honestly, it wasn't even about the money or the embarrassment.
For me, it was the pain.
The anticipation of the hurt, the sounds, and the feeling of losing control were enough to keep me away for years. I knew I needed to go, but the physical fear was paralyzed me.
But eventually, I found a way back.
I created Back to the Dentist to be the calm resource I wish I had back then. This isn’t a medical site filled with scary diagrams. It is a supportive guide offering practical steps to help you manage the fear of pain and navigate your return to dental health.
I’m not here to pressure you. I’m here to show you that if I could do it, you can too.
