when I am in the dentists chair I think of the old add on the TV that was used to market a drill, it used to say as the drill was spinning

Nobody likes dentists but we after use them. Just imagine you've got toothache what are you going to do.
Years ago, it didn't help. Be strong and just talk to your Dentist, tell them how nervous you are, you really shouldn't worry, if you need any work done, they numb your gums with stuff before you even get an injection, then you don't feel a thing, keep your eyes closed and tell the Dentist not to tell you what they are doing, if you want them to stop you only have to raise your hand, they don't mind, even if it's just to take a couple of deep breaths, the worst thing these days about getting anything done is the cold air tube that sits in your mouth and needing to swallow. Good Luck. X
I am afraid hypnosis does little better than placebo when it is used to manage medical or psychological conditions.
