Elfy Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I get the same way every time my appointment rolls around. I'm sure no matter what happens, it won't be as bad as your imagination makes it seem! Good luck Link to comment
Craisler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Why are you concerned about going to the dentist? Link to comment
minachan16 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I have a trauma of dental care since I was a toddler and my parents tried to forcefully brush my teeth with the most awful-tasting toothpaste imaginable. It left a big mental scar so I know all about the fear of people sticking dental instruments in your mouth. If I give my dentist enough notice, they will often prescribe me a tablet of Xanax to take prior to my appointment, and that has been helping so I don't miss appointments like I used to. You may wish to ask your dentist if they can do something similar, or just give them advance notice that you have dental care anxiety. You are not alone! Link to comment
DailyDi Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Dental apointments freak me out too. I have dental problems, so have had a bunch of root canals and extractions over the years, so when I go there is always a chance that the drills are coming out! 1 Link to comment

Craisler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I guess my dental experience has been much less traumtic than you've had. Link to comment

Craisler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Mine thought he hadn't given me enough the first time, so he did some more with a stronger drug higher in the jaw. When that took effect, I couldn't feel my Link to comment
willnotwill Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Some dentists can prescribe some happy pills to get you through the process if you have too much anxiety. Link to comment
Alaraine Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Dental appointments are "Meh" for me, no anxiety. they offered me relaxing gas I'm like no, just stick the needle in and get to work. Link to comment

Loveable_guy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Relax when going to the dentist i wear a diaper. Works for me any way. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment
spoonchicken Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I had ANOTHER root canal last Wetnesday....took three hours....lots of needles ( including a shot directly into the pulp after the crown was drilled through ) .....ugh ugh ugh But you know? The only thing worse than going to the dentist is NOT going to the dentist regularly ! and I might need full-fledged jaw surgery to correct my open-bite condition, which would mean I'd be off work for 6-8 weeks with my jaw wired shut NOT looking foward to that Link to comment

Shy-Diapers Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (Digging up an older thread but whatever.) I recently got my braces put on and I first went to an orthodontist who does nothing but braces. He said I'd need 3 teeth pulled 11 fillings and then new molds and braces within a week. He refused to sedate me because I'm small. (I'm technically underweight for my height and age.) And he said I'd need braces for a minimum of 3 1/2 years. Link to comment
nikkijo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 xanex, nitrous, a good dry heavy absorbency diaper and headphones is what it takes for me to get in the chair... i panic meaning i uncontrollably wet basically as if i had a catheter in... Link to comment
