Just think to yourself..so what if I do have a panic attack at the dentist? Whats the worst that can happen? If you accept it then you are dealing with it. If you don't fear the attacks then they are less likely to happen. :hugs:

You've done it before and you can do it again!

Dentists are fully aware that their occupation causes anxiety and are very gentle. I told my dentist that I have anxiety and a bit of a dental phobia and he was really gentle and let my fiancé be in the room with me.

Just remember, once it's over you'll think "Why was I so worried, that was a breeze!" You'll be fine because you CAN do it:)
