    My friend is afraid of going to the dentist!
    My friend is scared. He will bite at anyone who coem near his mouth. He's fifteen for crying out loud! Look, he's scared and I have done my best to explain to him they won't hurt him. Can I have some more advice to give him?;)

    Does he have a mental handicap? At fifteen that sounds childish of some sort. In fact he should be afraid not to, since certain teeth issues can cause seroius health problems

    Fr_Chuck is right. If teeth with cavities are left untreated they can become infected which can run through his body and cause serious health problems including death.
    Suggest he see a dentist who can sedate him either with valium or laughing gas.
