Does anyone have this fear of the dentist?

I have serious teeth problems. And I have a huge fear of the dentist. I have panic attacks in the chair. I don't know why, but my teeth have serious problems, even if I take care of them. They changed their colour (orange) and they fall because of decay. I am young and I lost many of my teeth. Nobody knows the cause. I don't have one tooth without a cavity. And what worries me is my fear of the dentist. I have panic attacks and they don't want to receive me. Anyone has some tips how to handle this?

Maybe praying before going? I know spending time with God relaxes me before anything stressful.

I prayed a lot, but I wasn't relaxed after that. It had no effect on me. But thanks for your advice.

Me too. My wisdom is impacted. Bad stuff. We just gotta do what we gotta do. If we get enough novacaine we should be okay. Maybe ask for some numb gel before u get your shots.

I also have a fear of dentist when I was young. I cried a lot when I am already sitting on a chair. My mom will calm me down. But then, I always tell to myself that this is for myself also. If I want to have a good teeth for me to smile properly and neatly, then I should do this. And when they began to put the numb gel, that my cue to close me eyes so that I wouldn't know what they are doing to my teeth. I know you can do this! This is for your own good too.

I fear a lot. My hear beats faster and faster while waiting for my turn. I just want it to be over. Whenever I go in, I closed my eyes. That way I don't know what they are doing. Mouth wide open and thinking of God to help me. That's me.
