When friends enable each other's dental anxiety and avoidance

My best friend and I both developed severe dental anxiety after bad experiences with the same dentist, and now we enable each other's avoidance, canceling appointments together and reinforcing each other's fears instead of getting the care we need.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
