Do you have dental anxiety?

I have an appointment on Monday. I will have to go the dentist again because I feel pain. I have to be prepared mentally. I am trying to think about it and this makes me feel sick. How do you prepare for the dentist if you are afraid?

what are you afraid of? i don't have anxiety before visiting dentist, so i can't really help you with that.

I feel pain and the dentist doesn't understand me. I have panic attacks there. I am afraid of severe pain. Even with anesthesia I can feel pain.

@dya80dya hmm i understand you, many people feel that way when going to the dentists. sometimes it's because they're not used to going to dentists or because of bad experience before.

I do indeed I am frightened because each time I go, they mess up my teeth. Well not much I can do except try to calm myself.

Why do they mess up your teeth? Maybe you need a better dentist.

I don’t. I guess I have so much dental work in my mouth that I got used to it. Let me give you a hint: if you’re able to take it, take a couple of Tylenol (acetaminophen) a couple of hours before the appointment. It’ll help ease any pain. (Aspirin is a blood thinner, so that might make you bleed more.)

Forget it. Once you worry, it will persist.
