I despise going to the dentist?!
Question: I despise going to the dentist!?
Seriously, I've been anxious for my appointment since my last appointment, which was in April!. My next one is in about two weeks, and I'm nervous, I hate going there!. When I get anxious, I get really nausious!.!. not really the best thing when someone is about to be poking around in your mouth!. Even worse, this appointment = x-rays (my dentist uses the kind where they stick those little paper things in the very back of your mouth)!. Does anyone else feel like this, and what are some tips to get over it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I go to the dentist every six months!. And I got really nervous to get x-rays too!. But they are not bad at all sweetie! Don't worry!!! You'll do great! They're VERY gentle with your mouth! They aren't just gonna shove the paper things in!. Don't get nervous any more!.!.!. You'll be fine! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
We have the same sentiment!. Oh, I always wanted to punch my dentist in the nose, but since the dentist is a she, then I gallantly grin and bear it! Well, you see, pain is pain and much as I want to avoid seeing her, I could not when the pain comes galloping in!. Anyway, there are situations in life that you have no control, and one of them is seeing a dentist! But since life is like this sometimes, then I have some techniques that you could consider during a dental visit:
1!. Just breathe deeply and evenly, through the diaphragm (yoga style)
2!. Focus your mind on something else (eating ice cream!?)
3!. Sympathize with the dentist (he's doing the hard work but pain-free)
4!. Know that all passes (and you can conquer all with patience!)
5!. Believe that God loves you (and His love suffices)
Good luck to you!.

Let your dentist know how you feel!.
Often, adjustments can be made to the angle and depth at which dental instruments are inserted into your mouth!. In addiction, your dentist can prescribe a mild tranquilizer to take before your appointment!.

I am with you on this one!. I haven't been to a dentist in such a long time all my teeth need something done to them!. I was talking to my girl friend about this very subject the other day and she suggested I go see her dentist!. He gives you a pill you take before you get to the office!. I don't know what it is but it is supposed to calm you down and relax you!. He takes ex-rays but he doesn't put any of those things in your mouth!. I don't know some kind of new machine!. It's kinda ironic to be answering this question now because at the moment I have a very bad tooth ache and my side of my face is really swollen and I haven't got insurance to go to a dentist so I will have to continue suffering!. Good Luck and maybe research a new dentist in your area that offers no pain dentistry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
