Cavities
When ever I get a sore tooth or something I always panic and start brushing my teeth constantly. I'm terrified of my teeth rotting out or even just getting a cavity.
I was just wondering if anyone else had a fear of getting cavities or their teeth rotting out?

I chose "A little but not really" because obviously I would prefer my teeth to stay healthy but I got rid of my fear of dentist so getting my teeth done doesn't sound very scary to me. The reason I don't want to have to go there is that it means I will have to spend lots of money because quality dental services here are pretty expensive.

How long has it been since you last visited the dentist?
