Hate The Dentists!

I have a dentist appointment today to get a few fillings done and im petrified, the last time i went i had a tooth pulled out and i fainted :no:

Is anyone else the same as me and if so what is the best way to relax? :nervous: :nervous:

Look after your teeth better so you don't have to get stuff done
Fillings aren't as bad as having a tooth pulled. I just focus on something in the room and try to relax. Maybe i'm a bit biased because my mums a dental nurse so i have no problems with the dentist.

Na I am a dentist wossy - I have absolutly no advice, but good luck and rather you than me :P

Especially if you fainted last time, make sure you've had something decent to eat before you go and take something sugary and a bottle of fizzy pop for afterwards in case you are a bit wobbly.

For those who are a bit nervous of it, try just lying back, shutting your eyes and going along with it, ad then give yourself a treat afterwards. Take your Ipod/mps player/walk man, the dentist will probably be happy for you to listen to it and its good distraction.
