I know how you feel about going to the dentist. I've always hated it too. When you find the right dentist though it's a lot easier and it sounds like you have found a good one. I love your flocked tree. Your necklace and ear rings match your top perfectly! I love those red pants too. Have a blessed week.
So proud of you Arlynn!! Once you get everything taken care of, you will feel like a whole new woman! You go girl! Love you all to pieces! Oh, and you look great in those beautiful red pants! God Bless~
Hi Arlynn. Glad you’re having that taken care of. I feel the same as you about going to the dentist and doctors. Sometimes we have no choice. No need to be embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about it ☺️. Nice haul too. The new tree is going to be beautiful 😊. Enjoy the rest of your evening. 🧡😉🕊️
I am so proud of you, Arlynn, both for facing your fears and also for sharing your feelings & experience with us. I too have a deep ongoing fear of doctors/dentists & really need to make a dental appointment but. . .I will rewatch this video over & over until I get the courage to call them. Thank you for being so open & honest here❤
I too, at 70 years old, have a huge fear of the dentist. I have been putting off some work that has to be done. You have encouraged me to call and schedule an appointment. Thanks for sharing.
Aww, Arlynn, I’m so proud of you for facing your fear and getting your teeth taken care of. Sounds like a great dental team, you will be in good hands. Praying for you, sweetie! 🙏 Sending hugs and love your way, xoxo ❤❤❤ 🤗 🤗
Thank you Arlynn for sharing your thoughts on dentists (I don't like going to the dentist either). I do remember you telling your horrible experience of while you were pregnant with your daughter, Candace. Love your haul and the outfits❤❤ xxoo
I have a small mouth too. Having X-ray on my teeth is really hard on me and the lady who has to put the film in my mouth. She is so kind and I am so grateful to her.
You are such a breath of fresh air! Never stop being you. So many people feel alone in their fears, of course we aren't, but it is a comfort to hear someone say it out loud.
Tooth problems are horrible and finding a Dentist you trust is more than half the battle, I'm so happy it worked out for you Arlynn. I'm 64 and fell on August 10th while on. walk with my husband, my left foot caught on a rise on the sidewalk and I went face first onto the cement and broke my front tooth. I Thank God every day because it could of been way worse!! My Dentist also retired so I went to his replacement and like you said they could not have been nicer, on the 2nd visit I had a cleaning along with x-rays, impressions the whole 9 yards and it was absolutely pain free even with all of my swelling. I ended up with 2 crowns even though I only needed 1 just so they would match. P.S. Root canals aren't bad at all, for me the worst part is the shot.
Thank you so much for posting the dentist’s information. I am terrified of dentists too and can’t remember the last time I saw one. It was so nice to meet you at Hobby Lobby last week!
I am in the same situation. I hated my smile in pictures. Mainly from dark lead looking fillings. I finally decided I am 67 years old, I love to laugh & smile & I’m going to overcome my fears & get to the dentist. I was scared to death but went. He set up a whole plan of action. I paid for it in advance to make myself to return. I was so proud of myself & ready to get it done. So anxious that I showed up 9/30…my appointment is 10/30. 🤦🏻♀️ One more thing, I’ve want a flocked tree since I was a little girl. 😊Beautiful tree!
Boy can I relate to your fear of the dentist, I had a couple of bad experiences as a kid and that set the tone for my entire adult life, when I was forced to go out of sheer agony as you were, it was a very good experience but I was scared out of my mind, you are not alone in this thats for sure
Hi pretty Lady, Love your new flocked tree, can't wait to see it decorated. After all you went through while Pregnant with Candace. I would feel the same way towards the medical profession. It sounds like you will be in good hands with this compassionate dentist & staff. You go girl, thanks for sharing with us. Always in my Prayers Love you too bits
I concur….yes Dental phobia is a real thing!!! I had a very grumpy dentist growing up and that made me very fearful of dentists as well. I am very lucky to have a great dentist and his team…..although truthfully I have to have a crown next week. …And have been trying to give myself pep talks for this dental appointment 😉 Thank ❤you Arlynn for always sharing your heart to make others ❤️🩹 feel better… You DON’T have warts!!! As I see it….a wonderful… kind…and generous soul❤ XXXXOO😘
I’m also having a root canal next week. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you next week. I’m a bit nervous but you have calmed my nerves sharing your story . ❤
I’ve had a fear of the dentist since I was a 12-year-old little girl and he hurt me so bad. I ended up having to go to oral surgeon. My dentist that I’ve been going to for good grief over 40 years. Has never hurt me now I’m seeing his son. But I still clinch up whenever I get there. Last year I bought a flocked tree mines only a 7 1/2 foot. But anyway, I got it at Michael’s and I was ready for the fallout. I figured would happen, but it didn’t happen. I don’t even remember having to vacuum after I decorated it. I had no fallout from it so I hope you have the same experience.
Arlynn, you are brave, courageous, strong, and everything else positive! I wish you could know how many of us admire and respect you to the moon and back! I want to be just like you when I grow up (never mind that I'm older than you are!) Hugs and prayers, Linda
I am right there with you, Arlynn! I am so afraid since my last dentist dropped a gold crown down the back of my throat and I swallowed it! Then I had to “watch for it” to make sure I passed it! How awful was that?! Once I got a crown in place, he said it would take something major to dislodge it. But it fell out a couple years later and I haven’t been able to go back. That was years ago. I know I need to go. And if you can do it, I can do it. Thank you for sharing this. You have helped me more than you know. Vicki
Arlynn, so glad you have gotten a good dentist and you’re feeling better. Praying all the rest of your work on your teeth goes well. Sending you lots of love. Take care. 😘💜
Glad you are feeling better! I agree, I don't like going to the dentist. I do go every 6 months. So, hang in there my friend. You will feel so much better. Keep you in my prayers. You got this! Hugs & Love! 🥰
Arlynn the word is to spray your flocked tree with extra-hold hairspray to keep the flocking intact. You’re a trooper with your dental issues. Love your red slacks! ❤️
Happy Thursday Arlynn ! So happy you conquered your fear and went to the dentist ! I've had the deep cleaning done and I was so happy that the hygienist said that she could do it my gums felt so much better! You'll do great on your upcoming appointments at your dentist ! You'll feel so much better knowing that your keeping your teeth and gums in good condition. ! I'm happy you got your flocked Christmas tree ! Can't wait too see it up and how it all looks decorated ! Love you to bits my friend! Have a great evening hugs ☺️!!!!!
Proud of you for facing a fear and getting your teeth taken care of! I recently went to the dentist after not going for quite a long time. I’m scheduled for a root canal next week. Thankfully I just need the root canal and 2 wisdom teeth removed. I was worried I had so much more wrong. Thankfully this will get me back on track and that’s a good feeling that I’m sure you are having now too!
Hi beautiful Arlynn. I'm glad you conquered your fear of the dentist and everyone was so nice. I was really scared about getting my teeth pulled for dentures but it went really quick and the dentist was very nice. Don't stop now. Keep your teeth as long as you can. This was a very good video. Can't wait to see your tree. It's so pretty. I love flocked trees. Stay safe & take care of yourself. Sending much love & hugs to you and Chris. ❤🫂😊
Hi Arlynn, dental work is the west, the best thing to do is keep a good schedule on getting yearly check ups this way things don’t get out of hand. I’m 73 and have all my teeth. But it’s not a pleasant appointment! Good for u that u went! Love your tree,and red pants, God Bless🙏🏽💕
Nice haul, Arlyn. Glad your pain less. I was a dental assisstant for almost 10 yrs before I became a R.N.. that was a long time ago and bet modern denistry better. Good luck, my dear. Sending light and love..
So nice to see you yes, taking care of your teeth is very important. It can cause so many other problems in one’s body so I’m glad you’re getting that done. We also invested a couple years ago in a flocked Christmas tree and they really don’t shed like they used to I have no problem with mine. I absolutely love it, if you don’t put anything on it because ours came with the lights already on it it’s beautiful, but we do decorate it The pants look great. 😊
You’re gonna be so happy once all your dental work is done. You’ll have such a sine of accomplishment and your teeth will look and feel so much better! Proud of you!
I'm so glad you're doing a lot better with your teeth. Tooth pain is not fun. Thank you for sharing your story about your fear. I'm so glad I ain't alone. You are going to absolutely love those flocked picks from Hobby Lobby. They're my number one pick I like to have. Lots of love and blessings!❤
I’m so happy for you!! There are so many of us who feel the same, but thank God that the dentists are there!! You look so nice in that outfit, and I love the necklace!! I have been searching for my first flocked tree too. I will wait to see if you like yours until I buy one.I trust your opinion.😀
I am so proud of you, I know I’ve been thinking of you and always will around this time of year, thinking of Kristen❤❤❤❤❤ and know she’s with you mommy love you dear heart❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, a lot of are Queens, times over, because we have gotten dental crowns. I'm glad that you conquered your fear. Good tooth health is very important for our general health. 👑 Praying for you and everyone with dental fear. When you get a crown, they are so careful with anesthesia and being gentle. Prayers and hugs.
Hi Arlynn I have had everything done to my mouth at the dentist including teeth extractions and I also have a small mouth. Don’t worry you’ve got this and you will feel so good once it’s done. Sending you a big hug❤️
Wow! You poor thing! I’m a real weannie when it comes to pain and I feel for you. Was nice to hear about your new Christmas tree! I got a flocked one a few years ago. The fallout was bad, so on my second year of using it, I first set it up in the garage and sprayed it with clear spray paint. That really helped a lot! The tree was gorgeous and we’ve really enjoyed it. Those red pants are beautiful! And perfect with that vest!❤️
I feel your fear of dentist. I had family dentist also friend and felt safe. He passed away and the next dentist caused lot of problems. So for years I neglected my teeth. Finally this year found a wonderful dentist with great staff. My teeth were so bad that ended up with top dentures waiting implants. He understand my anxiety and gave me meds so I slept thru most of procedure. Had to go in for deep cleaning in bottom teeth this week. They made me feel so comfortable that anxiety level was very low. Prayers as you go thru this.
Hey guys!! I'm 51 and am just recovering from extractions and getting dentures... I'm 5 days post op and it's been crazy... I used to haul horses for a living. A few years ago I was struck in the face by a client's horse and she broke both my cheeks and smashed all of my front teeth... I am also terrified of dentists. I got an abscess a few months ago and ended up in the hospital. I was told the infection will go I to my brain and also affect my heart... So I got my big girl pants on and decided to get my teeth done. Now I haven't smiled in YEARS! I would cover my mouth or look away... So embarrassing, my mental health was suffering too... Dentists are fantastic now... There are so many medications they can give you for your anxiety. And the new latest and greatest technology is so awesome... I was getting scared I was going to destroy my heart. I am sooooo happy you went to the dentist. I didn't realize that teeth affect so much of your body and organs. I now have dentures. I had no choice. I had literally no teeth left. So we will see what happens. Absolutely love you Arlynn!!! You have helped me threw soooooo much over the past 6 years.... I hope your doing well... And pop that beautiful smile out!!!! Love ya!!!!❤❤❤❤
I understand your fear of the dentist. I hate going, even though we have had some good dentists. Can't wait to see what you do with your new 9 ft flocked tree. Sounds like you finally won Chris over😂😂, good for you. Sometimes it just takes us awhile to convince them this is what we need and want. You're like me, don't need anything, but yes we want things. I think a well decorated house is a beautiful house. Just like our men feel about the outside of our homes. Best wishes for your pending procedures🙏🙏🙏.
That is great news Im glad you conquering your fear of the Dentist you will feel so much better and can't wait to see the pearly white teeth after that lets see you conquer the Doctor for a complete physical start the new year off right. Great news
I am so sorry you have been in such pain this week, but glad you conquered your fear and went to the dentist. I, too, do not like to go to the dentist, but I go. I also suffer from TMJ at times. I have a small mouth and also had four teeth pulled for braces. When I go to the dentist, my TMJ comes back for awhile from holding my mouth open so much! I don't comment very often, but when I hear your stories, we have so much in common if you read my previous comments! Sounds kind of crazy! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to your Christmas decorating! Hope you feel better soon!
Arlynn, I can not beleive how similar we are,,,I have a small jaw too.They have to use pediatric retractors in my mouth for xrays, etc. I had a double row of teeth in the bottom front as there was no room for them to come in properly..I had 4 teeth pulled before I got my braces which they had to hammer down because the teeth were so close together...I was not able to eat any solid food for close to over 3 months!! I was in 6th grade...I also had my wisdom teeth removed and woke up during the removal of the last tooth which was sideways in my mouth and they had to dig it out...I later fund out that there is a piece of a needle that must have broke off during that procedure embedded in my jaw so I can not have any MRI's because it would literally be pulled right out!!! I too was petrified and had not gone to the dentist in 35 years...I found a wonderful dentist when my husband needed dentures and he is quick, kind and painless...Our whole family now goes to him....I needed to have my teeth taken care of before I had my knee replacement surgery because several were lose and they were afraid that they would be knocked out when I would be intubated for the surgery....I now go every 6 months and have gotten over my fear of dentists....Dentristry is so different nowadays and much gentler than when were kids....I am a few years older than you at 66 years old....I am happy you overcame your fear and found a great dentist....KUDOS to you!!!! Love the Tree and glad Chris gave in and you were able to get it as I mentioned to you on your FB group...Can not wait to see it all decorated!!!!Thanks so much for sharing your life with us....I do the same on my blog... Hugs, Deb Debbie-Dabble Blog
Adwebbie222. TMI!!! Arlynn just asked for NO horror dental stories. OMG! A "I found a wonderful dentist too and your tree is beautiful" would have been an awesome, short, sweet comment. You apparently just did not hear her request. Be thoughtful, be kind, and have a wonderful day.
@@LindaLou-oh6qz The story I shared is what I endured as a child and if you read it correctly, I went through similar experiences almost the same as what she went through...My experiences as an adult are all good because I too found a great dentist that I am comfortable with like she did...I feel my post was encouraging as I was just as frightened as she was about going to a dentist in my 60's because of my nightmare experiences as a child....I now go regularly like I mentioned and I had no HORROR story to tell as an older adult....So I would appreciate it if you would keep your comments to yourself because I was encouraging her as someone who shared her fear and went though similar experiences as she did and am now no loner afraid....BE MORE THOUGHtFUL before you accuse someone of something that you apparently did not understand!!! HAve a lovely day!
I have "White Coat Syndrone." When I get my B/P checked at the beginning of the visit, it has a tendency to be elevated. The dr will recheck my BP at the end of the visit, and it is usually normal. Yay, for you going to the dentists. I can relate about the fear of Dr offices. ❤
Dear Arlynn, I share your same fear,same small mouth, anxiety through the roof over dentists! I will not sleep the night before a dental appointment! I was so lucky to find a wonderful dentist and his entire team has been incredible over the years I have been going there. I think finding that person is so helpful, so you have done the hard hard part! Next, with the crowns and all, don’t worry! The technology they have is incredible and my secret is to pray to Jesus the entire time so I don’t think about what’s really happening! Haha. My mouth is95% crowns! Most, as you said because of fillings that cracked the teeth. Root canals can be difficult, but you are a warrior already, my friend. Thank you for sharing this with us because I am sure there are so so many just like us! Forward On, my brave friend ❤
Oh my gosh, arlynn I thought I was the only one at my age still petrified of the doctors and dentist I’m so glad you got taken care of proud of you. I was so embarrassed when I finally went. I was much worse off and I guess we don’t realize at the time we’re going through other term and putting everything up because of fears but mine goes back to when we were younger, we had a dentist that was not very nice if you were crying where whatever he would slap us right in the mouth and the doctors same thing to this day I’m so afraid of shots. I won’t take any and he used to bring out model of a big plastic syringe and tell me if I don’t start eating he’s gonna have to give me a shot, that’s where I think my fears came from and I carry it still to this day so I know where you’re coming from but thank God you got past it and you’ll be fine and taken care of and you found a good dentist so when you started to talk about your fear, I have to tell you you’re not alone. I’m sure there’s many other people out there too with the same feeling, but you’ll be great once I would get there and I always had to have nitrous down. I was OK you have passed the battle already won. You’ll be great like your new top pretty and your necklace and earrings you always you always look great so try to rest before you start the next holiday project again hopefully you figure out what I’m saying sure not coming out like I’m saying it so but my eyes are half closed in here like almost 1 AM so that don’t help and once again it’s like I’m writing a book I better shut my mouth and stop for now be well. Stay safe. Love you until next time.
Don't feel alone because I get scared easily too of Dr and Dentist. I needed dentures because cheaper than all the repairs on bad teeth. I can't believe they pulled all my teeth out while awake!!! But ofcourse he numbed me and felt NO pain. I've been in ER admitted to hospital where 2 mean Dr's came in saying I'm full of blood clots and had a heart attack!!! I was all alone and told them " Wrong. Wrong!!" Tbey lectured I was in denial. Later they admitted they were wrong!! I was happy yet mad at them. I could write a book on drama that took place only to say they got it wrong!!! Take care.
Eeek Christmas stuff!! ❤ cant wait til you start decorating! Love it! You & Chris need to do a Viking cruise to the European Christmas Markets one year! PS IDK if it would help you, but I think I read where botox might help tmj
I so understand the being frightened of doctors, because I have the same issue. My doctor has give me xanzax to take before I have an appointment. Thank you for sharing and that God gave you favor by the people that treated you.
A blessing in disguise that they were able to take you that day because it saved you all the anxiety anticipating the appointment if you had scheduled it in advance. I have actually diagnosed White Coat Syndrome. It is on my medical records. My blood pressure shoots up so high at doctor's appointments. My PCP is great and realizes that about me and will retake my blood pressure at the end of the appointment after I've calmed down. I'm so thankful you had a good experience at the dentist. The dentist doesn't bother me as much as other doctors and especially since I found out that I cannot take Novocaine because of the epinephrine. It makes me want to come out of the seat! I use carbocaine instead. It doesn't have epinephrine in it. That may help you also.
Hello I to have a child size mouth & TMJ issues I thank you for sharing My dental office has been very understanding & caring Through the strength of Jesus you can get through these dental appointments. Joshua 1:9 I will remember you in my prayers
Arlynn, I'm sorry you have a Fear Of Dentist❗️When I was a child, a Dentist wasn't a Dentist, they were horse doctors❗️😳🙄🤐 So I guess my Fear won't go Away, I'm 72 yrs old❗️❗️I'm Wishing & Praying the Best for You❣️❗️Nancy
The fear is real…I have to get Nitrous Oxide to even get my teeth cleaned. I know that it’s irrational but I’m still frightened. I’ve had many surgeries with doctors…no fear at all. But dentists….oooh no!
I think they do that because you need fall now, Christmas a little later. Wonder if will change eventually for Christmas to 40 % . I think they have a plan to get the most money from us.😁😬 I understand the dentist, I go as I should but still, have had crowns and root canal, extractions. Really haven’t had a bad experience it I just about feel like I am going to my death even for a cleaning. Just get worked up. Another option is nitrous gas, it chills you out, you know what is going on but don’t care.😊 They won’t use for root canal at least mine will not. But will use for extractions and if you want during cleanings, fillings etc. I have used for extractions. Now too with the numbing gel used before injection, the injections are not bad, not great but not bad. Definitely better to take care of things sooner than later.
just want to say good luck you will be just fine i to go to dentist next week when i called i thought it has been 2 years well let me tell you when she said 5 i could not believe it now let me tell you i always went every 6 months for a cleaning the last time i too had a root canel a pretty new crown than covid hit has an guess that is were i lost time but really shame on me i think i have a chipped tooth any way you will be just fine thats the darn devil trying to scare you happy holidays take care
*I'm so proud of you!* 👏🏻 You walked into the dentist office and tackled that whole thing like a boss! 👏🏻 It is gonna be just fine and you will be in my prayers. 🙏🏻 (I get the TMJ thing, it's almost 11:00 at night and I'm wearing my mouth guard as we speak 😉) How exciting that y'all picked out a flocked tree! It's beautiful and I know once you get your hands on it, it'll be even more so! 🎄 Love those Amazon pants and I'm gonna add them to my _wish list!_ Thank you for sharing! ❤
I just had a crown done on my last upper left, it wasn’t fun. It’s been a year is right. I can’t stand all the crap going on in the world right now. I’m on a no buy til after this election. Take care!
I don’t like the dentist either, my teeth are bad from having to take medication for my thyroid condition, I need two teeth extracted and I just can’t bring myself to get it done yet 😣
Hi Arlynn…I’m sorry I have not been around for weeks. And this is funny that the first video I come back to watch is of your anxiety with the dentist. I’ve always had major anxiety, especially with the dentist. I feel for you and I’m so very sorry. But I’m so proud of you for going in! I have a scooter like yours, that you take on the cruises… because I’m in heart failure and I was going down a small hill, trying to get some decorations for my porch and not holding on with both hands… Stupid me!! And I fell off my scooter and broke my two wristbones. Anyway… I’ve had a lot of surgeries. I’ve had cancer and heart problems, and I will tell you what… This is the worst thing I have ever gone through. It was my dominant hand! And so I can’t do one thing on my own… Shower, my hair, I won’t get into details TMI. It is just been very difficult and excruciatingly painful. I did have my surgery four days ago and I’m trying to recover. But the anxiety has been through the roof! I so relate, my dear. I’ve had to rely on the Lord. Or I could not make it through this. I know you’ve wanted a flock tree for so long… I am so happy for you. Looking forward to all your videos I will catch up. And since I can’t write, I am so grateful for talk text! Sending lots of love and blessings and prayers your way. Love you! ~Gina💜
Oh my word, Gina! I’m so sorry to hear about both of your wrists! I cannot even imagine how painful that is! I can’t imagine the anxiety though as you know, I’m right there with you in that department. Please, please take care of yourself let people help you! Much love to you lots of prayers and tons of hugs! ❤️
I know how you feel about going to the dentist. I've always hated it too. When you find the right dentist though it's a lot easier and it sounds like you have found a good one. I love your flocked tree. Your necklace and ear rings match your top perfectly! I love those red pants too. Have a blessed week.
So proud of you Arlynn!! Once you get everything taken care of, you will feel like a whole new woman! You go girl! Love you all to pieces! Oh, and you look great in those beautiful red pants! God Bless~
Hi Arlynn. Glad you’re having that taken care of. I feel the same as you about going to the dentist and doctors. Sometimes we have no choice. No need to be embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about it ☺️. Nice haul too. The new tree is going to be beautiful 😊. Enjoy the rest of your evening. 🧡😉🕊️
I am so proud of you, Arlynn, both for facing your fears and also for sharing your feelings & experience with us. I too have a deep ongoing fear of doctors/dentists & really need to make a dental appointment but. . .I will rewatch this video over & over until I get the courage to call them. Thank you for being so open & honest here❤
I too, at 70 years old, have a huge fear of the dentist. I have been putting off some work that has to be done. You have encouraged me to call and schedule an appointment. Thanks for sharing.
Aww, Arlynn, I’m so proud of you for facing your fear and getting your teeth taken care of. Sounds like a great dental team, you will be in good hands. Praying for you, sweetie! 🙏 Sending hugs and love your way, xoxo ❤❤❤ 🤗 🤗
Thank you Arlynn for sharing your thoughts on dentists (I don't like going to the dentist either). I do remember you telling your horrible experience of while you were pregnant with your daughter, Candace. Love your haul and the outfits❤❤ xxoo
I have a small mouth too. Having X-ray on my teeth is really hard on me and the lady who has to put the film in my mouth. She is so kind and I am so grateful to her.
You are such a breath of fresh air! Never stop being you. So many people feel alone in their fears, of course we aren't, but it is a comfort to hear someone say it out loud.
I'm so happy you found a dentist you like. I'm excited to see you decorate for Christmas! I'm glad you are felling better. Have a blessed weekend 🙏❤
Tooth problems are horrible and finding a Dentist you trust is more than half the battle, I'm so happy it worked out for you Arlynn. I'm 64 and fell on August 10th while on. walk with my husband, my left foot caught on a rise on the sidewalk and I went face first onto the cement and broke my front tooth. I Thank God every day because it could of been way worse!!

I can totally relate to this! Thanks for sharing that I am not completely alone in my fear of the dentist. Good luck with your procedure.
Thank you so much for posting the dentist’s information. I am terrified of dentists too and can’t remember the last time I saw one.
It was so nice to meet you at Hobby Lobby last week!
OHHHH Hi Kathryn!!! AND you are so very welcome about the dentist, he is fantastic and it was so nice to meet you too!!
I am in the same situation. I hated my smile in pictures. Mainly from dark lead looking fillings. I finally decided I am 67 years old, I love to laugh & smile & I’m going to overcome my fears & get to the dentist. I was scared to death but went. He set up a whole plan of action. I paid for it in advance to make myself to return. I was so proud of myself & ready to get it done. So anxious that I showed up 9/30…my appointment is 10/30. 🤦🏻♀️
One more thing, I’ve want a flocked tree since I was a little girl. 😊Beautiful tree!
Boy can I relate to your fear of the dentist, I had a couple of bad experiences as a kid and that set the tone for my entire adult life, when I was forced to go out of sheer agony as you were, it was a very good experience but I was scared out of my mind, you are not alone in this thats for sure
Hi pretty Lady, Love your new flocked tree, can't wait to see it decorated. After all you went through while Pregnant with Candace. I would feel the same way towards the medical profession. It sounds like you will be in good hands with this compassionate dentist & staff. You go girl, thanks for sharing with us. Always in my Prayers Love you too bits
I know I use to be so scared of a dentist. I finally went to someone and love him.
I concur….yes Dental phobia is a real thing!!!
I had a very grumpy dentist growing up and that made me very fearful of dentists as well.
I am very lucky to have a great dentist and his team…..although truthfully I have to have a crown next week.
…And have been trying to give myself pep talks for this dental appointment 😉
Thank ❤you Arlynn for always sharing your heart to make others ❤️🩹 feel better…
You DON’T have warts!!!
As I see it….a wonderful… kind…and generous soul❤
XXXXOO😘
Good luck with everything I hope all goes well for you I have just got a crown done weeks ago I was very nervous too
Beautiful tree Arlynn 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
I can’t wait to see how it looks in place!
I’m also having a root canal next week. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you next week. I’m a bit nervous but you have calmed my nerves sharing your story . ❤
I’ve had a fear of the dentist since I was a 12-year-old little girl and he hurt me so bad. I ended up having to go to oral surgeon. My dentist that I’ve been going to for good grief over 40 years. Has never hurt me now I’m seeing his son. But I still clinch up whenever I get there. Last year I bought a flocked tree mines only a 7 1/2 foot. But anyway, I got it at Michael’s and I was ready for the fallout. I figured would happen, but it didn’t happen. I don’t even remember having to vacuum after I decorated it. I had no fallout from it so I hope you have the same experience.
Arlynn, you are brave, courageous, strong, and everything else positive! I wish you could know how many of us admire and respect you to the moon and back! I want to be just like you when I grow up (never mind that I'm older than you are!) Hugs and prayers, Linda
I am right there with you, Arlynn! I am so afraid since my last dentist dropped a gold crown down the back of my throat and I swallowed it! Then I had to “watch for it” to make sure I passed it! How awful was that?! Once I got a crown in place, he said it would take something major to dislodge it. But it fell out a couple years later and I haven’t been able to go back. That was years ago. I know I need to go. And if you can do it, I can do it. Thank you for sharing this. You have helped me more than you know. Vicki
OH dear Lord Vicki!! That is a harrowing story! :'(
Arlynn, so glad you have gotten a good dentist and you’re feeling better. Praying all the rest of your work on your teeth goes well. Sending you lots of love. Take care. 😘💜
Glad you are feeling better! I agree, I don't like going to the dentist. I do go every 6 months. So, hang in there my friend. You will feel so much better. Keep you in my prayers. You got this! Hugs & Love! 🥰
Sweet Lady I love your genuine honesty. You bring your heart and soul to us. God Bless you
Arlynn the word is to spray your flocked tree with extra-hold hairspray to keep the flocking intact. You’re a trooper with your dental issues. Love your red slacks! ❤️
Happy Thursday Arlynn ! So happy you conquered your fear and went to the dentist ! I've had the deep cleaning done and I was so happy that the hygienist said that she could do it my gums felt so much better! You'll do great on your upcoming appointments at your dentist ! You'll feel so much better knowing that your keeping your teeth and gums in good condition. ! I'm happy you got your flocked Christmas tree ! Can't wait too see it up and how it all looks decorated ! Love you to bits my friend! Have a great evening hugs ☺️!!!!!
Proud of you for facing a fear and getting your teeth taken care of! I recently went to the dentist after not going for quite a long time. I’m scheduled for a root canal next week. Thankfully I just need the root canal and 2 wisdom teeth removed. I was worried I had so much more wrong. Thankfully this will get me back on track and that’s a good feeling that I’m sure you are having now too!
Hi beautiful Arlynn. I'm glad you conquered your fear of the dentist and everyone was so nice. I was really scared about getting my teeth pulled for dentures but it went really quick and the dentist was very nice. Don't stop now. Keep your teeth as long as you can. This was a very good video. Can't wait to see your tree. It's so pretty. I love flocked trees. Stay safe & take care of yourself. Sending much love & hugs to you and Chris. ❤🫂😊
Hi Arlynn, dental work is the west, the best thing to do is keep a good schedule on getting yearly check ups this way things don’t get out of hand. I’m 73 and have all my teeth. But it’s not a pleasant appointment! Good for u that u went! Love your tree,and red pants, God Bless🙏🏽💕
I'm very proud of you. I had my first root canal two days ago. It was painless and only took a little over an hour. You've got this!
Nice haul, Arlyn. Glad your pain less. I was a dental assisstant for almost 10 yrs before I became a R.N.. that was a long time ago and bet modern denistry better. Good luck, my dear. Sending light and love..
So nice to see you yes, taking care of your teeth is very important. It can cause so many other problems in one’s body so I’m glad you’re getting that done. We also invested a couple years ago in a flocked Christmas tree and they really don’t shed like they used to I have no problem with mine. I absolutely love it, if you don’t put anything on it because ours came with the lights already on it it’s beautiful, but we do decorate it The pants look great. 😊
You’re gonna be so happy once all your dental work is done. You’ll have such a sine of accomplishment and your teeth will look and feel so much better! Proud of you!
You go girl! Proud of your bravery! Your quality of life is so worth it! God bless❤️🙏🏻🤗
I'm so glad you're doing a lot better with your teeth. Tooth pain is not fun. Thank you for sharing your story about your fear. I'm so glad I ain't alone. You are going to absolutely love those flocked picks from Hobby Lobby. They're my number one pick I like to have. Lots of love and blessings!❤
I’m so happy for you!! There are so many of us who feel the same, but thank God that the dentists are there!! You look so nice in that outfit, and I love the necklace!! I have been searching for my first flocked tree too. I will wait to see if you like yours until I buy one.I trust your opinion.😀
I am so proud of you, I know I’ve been thinking of you and always will around this time of year, thinking of Kristen❤❤❤❤❤ and know she’s with you mommy love you dear heart❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, a lot of are Queens, times over, because we have gotten dental crowns. I'm glad that you conquered your fear. Good tooth health is very important for our general health. 👑 Praying for you and everyone with dental fear. When you get a crown, they are so careful with anesthesia and being gentle. Prayers and hugs.
Glad you got to a good dentist❤. And wow you were able to get the flocked tree. Wooo Hooo Chris!
Hi Arlynn I have had everything done to my mouth at the dentist including teeth extractions and I also have a small mouth. Don’t worry you’ve got this and you will feel so good once it’s done. Sending you a big hug❤️
Happy Thursday Arlynn.
Wow! Thats a beautiful tree Arlynn! You look stunning today!
Wow! You poor thing! I’m a real weannie when it comes to pain and I feel for you. Was nice to hear about your new Christmas tree! I got a flocked one a few years ago. The fallout was bad, so on my second year of using it, I first set it up in the garage and sprayed it with clear spray paint. That really helped a lot! The tree was gorgeous and we’ve really enjoyed it. Those red pants are beautiful! And perfect with that vest!❤️
You do have a beautiful smile! Glad you found a great dentist! That tree is going to be gorgeous!
Arlynn, I am so proud of you and love you for being yourself and so open. I have dentures now and understand exactly what you are saying.
Oh I totally understand, tooth pain is the worst! Glad you went to the Dentist. Dentistry has come a long way. 💗
I am soo glad you shared this! I am the same way! I have a huge fear! You’re such an amazing person! This helps me a lot!
I feel your fear of dentist. I had family dentist also friend and felt safe. He passed away and the next dentist caused lot of problems. So for years I neglected my teeth. Finally this year found a wonderful dentist with great staff. My teeth were so bad that ended up with top dentures waiting implants. He understand my anxiety and gave me meds so I slept thru most of procedure. Had to go in for deep cleaning in bottom teeth this week. They made me feel so comfortable that anxiety level was very low. Prayers as you go thru this.
Hey guys!! I'm 51 and am just recovering from extractions and getting dentures... I'm 5 days post op and it's been crazy... I used to haul horses for a living. A few years ago I was struck in the face by a client's horse and she broke both my cheeks and smashed all of my front teeth... I am also terrified of dentists. I got an abscess a few months ago and ended up in the hospital. I was told the infection will go I to my brain and also affect my heart... So I got my big girl pants on and decided to get my teeth done. Now I haven't smiled in YEARS! I would cover my mouth or look away... So embarrassing, my mental health was suffering too... Dentists are fantastic now... There are so many medications they can give you for your anxiety. And the new latest and greatest technology is so awesome... I was getting scared I was going to destroy my heart.
I am sooooo happy you went to the dentist. I didn't realize that teeth affect so much of your body and organs. I now have dentures. I had no choice. I had literally no teeth left. So we will see what happens.
Absolutely love you Arlynn!!! You have helped me threw soooooo much over the past 6 years.... I hope your doing well... And pop that beautiful smile out!!!! Love ya!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your dental 😰 fear
I share it … your encouraging words appreciated 🥰
Glad you’re feeling better each day
Proud of ya for having the courage to put one foot forward and go. 🦷😘
I understand your fear of the dentist. I hate going, even though we have had some good dentists. Can't wait to see what you do with your new 9 ft flocked tree. Sounds like you finally won Chris over😂😂, good for you. Sometimes it just takes us awhile to convince them this is what we need and want. You're like me, don't need anything, but yes we want things. I think a well decorated house is a beautiful house. Just like our men feel about the outside of our homes. Best wishes for your pending procedures🙏🙏🙏.
It’s ok sweetheart please don’t cry, it breaks my heart to see you cry🤎🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡🍁
That is great news Im glad you conquering your fear of the Dentist you will feel so much better and can't wait to see the pearly white teeth after that lets see you conquer the Doctor for a complete physical start the new year off right. Great news
I am so sorry you have been in such pain this week, but glad you conquered your fear and went to the dentist. I, too, do not like to go to the dentist, but I go. I also suffer from TMJ at times. I have a small mouth and also had four teeth pulled for braces. When I go to the dentist, my TMJ comes back for awhile from holding my mouth open so much! I don't comment very often, but when I hear your stories, we have so much in common if you read my previous comments! Sounds kind of crazy! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to your Christmas decorating! Hope you feel better soon!
I have the same problem and having some work done soon! I’m a wreck going to the dentist.
Praying for you Arlynn

Purple is a great color on you! Do the red pants have pockets? Thanks-Valerie
Hi Valerie, no, the pants do not have pockets. Thanks about the purple!
Arlynn,
I can not beleive how similar we are,,,I have a small jaw too.They have to use pediatric retractors in my mouth for xrays, etc. I had a double row of teeth in the bottom front as there was no room for them to come in properly..I had 4 teeth pulled before I got my braces which they had to hammer down because the teeth were so close together...I was not able to eat any solid food for close to over 3 months!! I was in 6th grade...I also had my wisdom teeth removed and woke up during the removal of the last tooth which was sideways in my mouth and they had to dig it out...I later fund out that there is a piece of a needle that must have broke off during that procedure embedded in my jaw so I can not have any MRI's because it would literally be pulled right out!!! I too was petrified and had not gone to the dentist in 35 years...I found a wonderful dentist when my husband needed dentures and he is quick, kind and painless...Our whole family now goes to him....I needed to have my teeth taken care of before I had my knee replacement surgery because several were lose and they were afraid that they would be knocked out when I would be intubated for the surgery....I now go every 6 months and have gotten over my fear of dentists....Dentristry is so different nowadays and much gentler than when were kids....I am a few years older than you at 66 years old....I am happy you overcame your fear and found a great dentist....KUDOS to you!!!! Love the Tree and glad Chris gave in and you were able to get it as I mentioned to you on your FB group...Can not wait to see it all decorated!!!!Thanks so much for sharing your life with us....I do the same on my blog...
Hugs,
Deb

Adwebbie222. TMI!!! Arlynn just asked for NO horror dental stories. OMG! A "I found a wonderful dentist too and your tree is beautiful" would have been an awesome, short, sweet comment. You apparently just did not hear her request. Be thoughtful, be kind, and have a wonderful day.
@@LindaLou-oh6qz The story I shared is what I endured as a child and if you read it correctly, I went through similar experiences almost the same as what she went through...My experiences as an adult are all good because I too found a great dentist that I am comfortable with like she did...I feel my post was encouraging as I was just as frightened as she was about going to a dentist in my 60's because of my nightmare experiences as a child....I now go regularly like I mentioned and I had no HORROR story to tell as an older adult....So I would appreciate it if you would keep your comments to yourself because I was encouraging her as someone who shared her fear and went though similar experiences as she did and am now no loner afraid....BE MORE THOUGHtFUL before you accuse someone of something that you apparently did not understand!!! HAve a lovely day!
You’ve got this Arlynn! 💪🏼💪🏼Sending positive vibes from 🇨🇦🥰🙋🏼♀️
I have "White Coat Syndrone." When I get my B/P checked at the beginning of the visit, it has a tendency to be elevated. The dr will recheck my BP at the end of the visit, and it is usually normal. Yay, for you going to the dentists. I can relate about the fear of Dr offices. ❤
God Bless! So glad you were treated so well!
That necklace is perfect with the jacket!!! Glad u r getting better and put ur big girl pants on!!! Yoohoo!!!🎉😊
Remember to just breathe. 🥰. Just ordered the pants. 😊.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I need to get booked in at the dentist too!
Arlene I hate the dentist I am with you all the way!!!!!! I put it off I’m glad you found a good guy!!!! Take care❤❤❤
Will be thinking of you. Take care
Dear Arlynn, I share your same fear,same small mouth, anxiety through the roof over dentists! I will not sleep the night before a dental appointment! I was so lucky to find a wonderful dentist and his entire team has been incredible over the years I have been going there. I think finding that person is so helpful, so you have done the hard hard part! Next, with the crowns and all, don’t worry! The technology they have is incredible and my secret is to pray to Jesus the entire time so I don’t think about what’s really happening! Haha. My mouth is95% crowns! Most, as you said because of fillings that cracked the teeth. Root canals can be difficult, but you are a warrior already, my friend. Thank you for sharing this with us because I am sure there are so so many just like us! Forward On, my brave friend ❤
Oh my gosh, arlynn I thought I was the only one at my age still petrified of the doctors and dentist I’m so glad you got taken care of proud of you. I was so embarrassed when I finally went. I was much worse off and I guess we don’t realize at the time we’re going through other term and putting everything up because of fears but mine goes back to when we were younger, we had a dentist that was not very nice if you were crying where whatever he would slap us right in the mouth and the doctors same thing to this day I’m so afraid of shots. I won’t take any and he used to bring out model of a big plastic syringe and tell me if I don’t start eating he’s gonna have to give me a shot, that’s where I think my fears came from and I carry it still to this day so I know where you’re coming from but thank God you got past it and you’ll be fine and taken care of and you found a good dentist so when you started to talk about your fear, I have to tell you you’re not alone. I’m sure there’s many other people out there too with the same feeling, but you’ll be great once I would get there and I always had to have nitrous down. I was OK you have passed the battle already won. You’ll be great like your new top pretty and your necklace and earrings you always you always look great so try to rest before you start the next holiday project again hopefully you figure out what I’m saying sure not coming out like I’m saying it so but my eyes are half closed in here like almost 1 AM so that don’t help and once again it’s like I’m writing a book I better shut my mouth and stop for now be well. Stay safe. Love you until next time.
Beautiful tree!!!!!!!🌲
Mrs. Arlynn I am absolutely terrified of the dentist! My mouth is in a horrible mess and it’s absolutely horrible pain!
Don't feel alone because I get scared easily too of Dr and Dentist. I needed dentures because cheaper than all the repairs on bad teeth. I can't believe they pulled all my teeth out while awake!!! But ofcourse he numbed me and felt NO pain. I've been in ER admitted to hospital where 2 mean Dr's came in saying I'm full of blood clots and had a heart attack!!! I was all alone and told them " Wrong. Wrong!!" Tbey lectured I was in denial. Later they admitted they were wrong!! I was happy yet mad at them. I could write a book on drama that took place only to say they got it wrong!!! Take care.
Eeek Christmas stuff!! ❤ cant wait til you start decorating! Love it!
You & Chris need to do a Viking cruise to the European Christmas Markets one year!
PS IDK if it would help you, but I think I read where botox might help tmj
Oh honey, I don't know anybody that loves to go the dentist. I have had root canals and crowns and it is nothing compared to a toothache!
Mrs Arlynn❤❤❤
I so understand the being frightened of doctors, because I have the same issue. My doctor has give me xanzax to take before I have an appointment. Thank you for sharing and that God gave you favor by the people that treated you.
I have a flocked tree and it doesn’t snow on the carpet!
A blessing in disguise that they were able to take you that day because it saved you all the anxiety anticipating the appointment if you had scheduled it in advance. I have actually diagnosed White Coat Syndrome. It is on my medical records. My blood pressure shoots up so high at doctor's appointments. My PCP is great and realizes that about me and will retake my blood pressure at the end of the appointment after I've calmed down. I'm so thankful you had a good experience at the dentist.
The dentist doesn't bother me as much as other doctors and especially since I found out that I cannot take Novocaine because of the epinephrine. It makes me want to come out of the seat! I use carbocaine instead. It doesn't have epinephrine in it. That may help you also.
Hello
I to have a child size mouth & TMJ issues
I thank you for sharing
My dental office has been very understanding & caring
Through the strength of Jesus you can get through these dental appointments.
Joshua 1:9
I will remember you in my prayers
Hello dear❤🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🙏🏽
Arlynn, I'm sorry you have a Fear Of Dentist❗️When I was a child, a Dentist wasn't a Dentist, they were horse doctors❗️😳🙄🤐 So I guess my Fear won't go Away, I'm 72 yrs old❗️❗️I'm Wishing & Praying the Best for You❣️❗️Nancy
The fear is real…I have to get Nitrous Oxide to even get my teeth cleaned. I know that it’s irrational but I’m still frightened. I’ve had many surgeries with doctors…no fear at all. But dentists….oooh no!
I understand, I HATE to see a Dr. I'm 69 so I have to go. I dread it every time.
I think they do that because you need fall now, Christmas a little later. Wonder if will change eventually for Christmas to 40 % . I think they have a plan to get the most money from us.😁😬 I understand the dentist, I go as I should but still, have had crowns and root canal, extractions. Really haven’t had a bad experience it I just about feel like I am going to my death even for a cleaning. Just get worked up. Another option is nitrous gas, it chills you out, you know what is going on but don’t care.😊 They won’t use for root canal at least mine will not. But will use for extractions and if you want during cleanings, fillings etc. I have used for extractions. Now too with the numbing gel used before injection, the injections are not bad, not great but not bad. Definitely better to take care of things sooner than later.
just want to say good luck you will be just fine i to go to dentist next week when i called i thought it has been 2 years well let me tell you when she said 5 i could not believe it now let me tell you i always went every 6 months for a cleaning the last time i too had a root canel a pretty new crown than covid hit has an guess that is were i lost time but really shame on me i think i have a chipped tooth any way you will be just fine thats the darn devil trying to scare you happy holidays take care
❤❤ I'm a chicken too 😂
They do have dentist that will put you to sleep . They may have some in your area
❤❤❤
*I'm so proud of you!* 👏🏻 You walked into the dentist office and tackled that whole thing like a boss! 👏🏻 It is gonna be just fine and you will be in my prayers. 🙏🏻 (I get the TMJ thing, it's almost 11:00 at night and I'm wearing my mouth guard as we speak 😉) How exciting that y'all picked out a flocked tree! It's beautiful and I know once you get your hands on it, it'll be even more so! 🎄 Love those Amazon pants and I'm gonna add them to my _wish list!_ Thank you for sharing! ❤
I hate going to the dentist, not sure why but I hate it 😔
🩷💕🩷
I just had a crown done on my last upper left, it wasn’t fun. It’s been a year is right. I can’t stand all the crap going on in the world right now. I’m on a no buy til after this election. Take care!
I don’t like the dentist either, my teeth are bad from having to take medication for my thyroid condition, I need two teeth extracted and I just can’t bring myself to get it done yet 😣
I don’t like needles period!😩😩😩
Hi Arlynn…I’m sorry I have not been around for weeks. And this is funny that the first video I come back to watch is of your anxiety with the dentist. I’ve always had major anxiety, especially with the dentist. I feel for you and I’m so very sorry. But I’m so proud of you for going in! I have a scooter like yours, that you take on the cruises… because I’m in heart failure and I was going down a small hill, trying to get some decorations for my porch and not holding on with both hands… Stupid me!! And I fell off my scooter and broke my two wristbones. Anyway… I’ve had a lot of surgeries. I’ve had cancer and heart problems, and I will tell you what… This is the worst thing I have ever gone through. It was my dominant hand! And so I can’t do one thing on my own… Shower, my hair, I won’t get into details TMI. It is just been very difficult and excruciatingly painful. I did have my surgery four days ago and I’m trying to recover. But the anxiety has been through the roof! I so relate, my dear. I’ve had to rely on the Lord. Or I could not make it through this. I know you’ve wanted a flock tree for so long… I am so happy for you. Looking forward to all your videos I will catch up. And since I can’t write, I am so grateful for talk text! Sending lots of love and blessings and prayers your way. Love you!
~Gina💜
Oh my word, Gina! I’m so sorry to hear about both of your wrists! I cannot even imagine how painful that is! I can’t imagine the anxiety though as you know, I’m right there with you in that department. Please, please take care of yourself let people help you! Much love to you lots of prayers and tons of hugs! ❤️
@@ArlynnsCountryCraftCornerThank you, my dear….that means a lot!💜
❤❤❤
