I''m in need of a new dentist. In the meantime, I just cracked a molar (sp?).  
Unfortunately I am terrified of dentists. I can go into a panic just entering a dentists office, even a mild panic right now just typing this.  
 
Anyone have a recommendation of a dentist that also helps with this great fear I have. I think I heard an ad for one in Brandon for this.  
 
I don''t need wise cracks. I need recommendations. Is there a Saturday dentist, in case I wake up and this molar won''t wait until Monday  
 
My fear right now will likely keep me up all night.

dr.chen at westman dental is amazing. He's not even my regular dentist there but he was so friendly and very calming when I went in for an emergency. I think he might take a few patients Saturday mornings. Maybe call them first thing to see if he can squeeze u in.

Have a huge fear of the dentist -  
I go to Dr. McNiven at Westman Dental and he is fantastic! I can't say enough good things .... He understands I'm scared and does his best o help! Not sure if you have much of a choice when it's an emergency but... If you can try to get into him! Also... My doctor gives me medication to take before I go, it helps a lot!

The best dentist I have ever experienced is at Souris Dental Clinic - give him a try - he is worth the drive! Not sure about open on Saturdays though.

I'll second Dr. McNiven ! !  
I'm also terrified of dentists due to some really bad experiences.  
Dr. McNiven is gentle & puts me right at ease. ..And he "gets " my warped sense of humor as well....lol

Dr. Pappas for sure! I am a big chicken and he is great with me.  
 
Also Princess Dental offers slight sedation for people who are terrified of going to the dentist.

i love dr birks at princess dental
