Okay local folks - looking for a referral to a kind, non-lecturing/judging/shaming dentist office (Redding to Medford)...this is not easy for folks with dental anxiety...err, phobia. Drugs/gas/whatever are a must. If you actually *like* the dentist, I don't really need to hear from you, sorry. If you fear the dentist like you fear fill-in-the-blank, resulting in near-tears, rapid breathing/heart rate, and possibly/probably tears, then please comment.
Also, I'm currently summoning courage by spending time here - note the list of common fears on the right side, yep, got most of them.
