I definitely agree that the first step to overcoming your fear of the dentist is trusting the person who is examining you. If you trust that your dentist will take good care of you then you will be able to feel more comfortable telling him or her when you’re uncomfortable, and you will feel more confident in the care that you’re receiving. Thanks for your tips and insights!

My fear has only grown with each procedure, and now I am looking at a root canal. Getting my mind off the visit is great advice, I plan on doing that by bringing a friend.

I’ve been terrified of going to the dentist since the equipment always gets to me. Even realizing that a needle is going to used to numb me. The dentists I have gone to have not actually told me what was going to happen. They would look into my mouth and then determine what would happen. I guess the next step for me is to speak with my dentist to have them let me know what will be taking place before they continue to work on me.
