Hi

I havent been to a dentist for approx 6 years. I have to go tomorrow as Ive been in agony for a week. I dont think I have a phobia, always coped ok in the past. But Im really dreading it. The drilling etc I can handle, but thinking I may have a full blown panic attack in the chair is really playing on my mind. I have some Valium I was prescribed a few months ago for a spasm in my back. Should i take one before I go? Would it help much? Any advice on how to stay calm please?
