Answer 1

Just think of the dangers that could occur if you don't go. Absest teeth/infections, loss of teeth, infected gums, etc. All can and are very dangerous if left unattended.

Not saying that to scare you, just putting things into perspective for you... Think of all the good you'll be doing yourself seeing dentist.

Besides, it's never as bad as we tend to think, dentists are not monsters out to hurt you, they're quite gentle. And the pain meds they give are wonderful.... just tell your dentist right away you're affraid, they will do everything to make you as comfortable as possible.

Heya,

Ok, there is nothing to worry about! The dentist will give you an injection that will freeze the parts of the gum where you need fillings so you don't feel a thing, he may give you the gas, but I dont reccomend you on doing so as I didn't feel well at all when I got the gas, It may be scary at first but trust me, you will be ok! The dentist knows what he's doing and he wont let any harm come to you or else he isint doing his job very well! For the shakes and nerves I reccomend you use herbal ease, this will help put you in the right state of mind for your appointment!

Hope I helped!!

Answer 4

Ask your friends and family who they go to dental work. They can recommend a good dentist.

Ask the dentist what he can do to make you less nervous. He can give you a sedative to calm you before he/she works. Or he can let someone you know and trust sit there and calm you down just by sitting there.

See if the dentist has laughing gas and can administer it to you. It will make you dreamy and not care about anything. One they take the mask off, you are back to normal. This the procedure I used.

Remember the dentist is not there to hurt you. They will not begin work unless you are comfortable and not feeling pain. If you have feeling in your tooth, they will not start. And if you start to feel pain, let they know and they will stop.
