Fearing the Dentist, what do you do?

I hate going to the dentist. I have panick attacks and just thinking of dental work sends me over the edge. Doing deep breathing exercises and closing my eyes, works to some degree. What all do you do to get through the dental visits?

It is not fun going to the dentist, but I just look at it as something that needs to be done to stay healthy. It is just an hour of your life once or twice a year. Try to think of something else. Sometimes they will let you listen to headphones while they are cleaning you teeth. good luck!
