Scared of dentist appointment today

[twiglet]

Hi ya,
i've got a dentist appointment today at 14.00 which im sooo anxiuos about. i dont like dentists what so ever but i have to go cause i've broken a tooth. last time i went i was in the chair shaking like mad and the nurse had to hold me still so the dentist could do his work. horrible.
and i know for a fact im gonna do it again. i just dont like the feeling that the injection gives you. feels like my throats closing up.
could really use some kind words.....:)

Hi Twiglet,
*i know for a fact im gonna do it again*.

Maybe if you tried to change the way you are thinking.
Just because it happened last time it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the same this time.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Let us know how you got on.
Take care

As far as I am concerned Twiglet you are fantastic for going! Think how brave you are being for turning up and congratulate yourself.

I will be thinking of you.

Hi Twiglet,

Just think to your self, "I cant wait to get in that chair"
"So what if i get shakey whats the worst thing that can happen"?
"I may pass out in this lovely comfortable chair/bed"
"the injection may feel strange at first but then i wont feel anything"
"the nurse/dentist are medically trained so i couldnt be in a better place"
"they see people everyday who are terrified and shake"
"at the end of this my mouth will feel better"
"AT THE END OF THIS I WILL BE SO PLEASED WITH MYSELF"!

If you want print this off and read when there.

My husband passed out at the dentist once and was brought home with the nurse holding his arm lol, he had no usuall anxiety and is a strong strapping man.He laughed about it afterwards.
This gets me thinking it really is the attitude we have towards this fear.
Some people laugh about it whilst others like us fret about it.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
