Real talk: never had a tooth out, getting impacted wisdom tooth out tomorrow. Don't have anxiety but have had two panic attacks.

I have blood tests/IVs all the time, no problem, but this is freaking me out. Just muting/blocking people making dumb jokes, not in the mood

Have had loads of tooth stuff - both under G anaesthetic and local - first resort - rescue remedy makes me brave, 2nd is tell dentist 1/2

Ps rescue remedy is strange you still know it's happening but somehow don't care - possibly placebo but worth a try! Good luck for tomorrow

Be upfront with them and tell them you're nervous. They can help a bit with keeping you calm.

Also, sounds silly, but keep your eyes closed. You won't feel much. I plan dinner parties in my head to take my mind off it.

Talk to them about it, they'll listen. Also (ex-phobic speaking) turns out dentistry is like superamazing painless these days.

Modern dentistry is really amazing- I've had lots done and it's literally painless nowadays. You'll be absolutely fine.

I had all 4 out in one shot. Totally worth it
Intravenous Valium helped in the chair. Stay on top of painkillers afterwards
Good luck

I've had two wisdom teeth out, one of which had roots all gnarled and clenched like a particularly evil tree. It wasn't a fun experience.

Most dentists prefer nervous patients, get a lot of satisfaction from helping, so be upfront. Just don't say "I hate the dentist" first!
