Problem at the dentist..please help?!
Question: Problem at the dentist....please help.?
Today I went to the dentist to get cavities filled......I have had this done before....when I was younger......today when they put this flavored swab in my mouth and then did the shot I slowly began to feel nauseated and my anxiety disorder probably didn't help it......anyway I almost threw up....the feeling of my tongue being numb and near the back of my throat made me feel sick and I couldn't stand to have anything in my mouth......so I had to come home and reschedule......
anyway, I just want peoples' advice on how to relax and not have this happen again--what can I do.?
also, I went to this procedure on an empty stomach because I thought it would be best.. Don't know if that's the case but I typically have an overly sensitive stomach in the first place..Health Question & Answer

Answers:
You can take deep breaths to relax yourself while you're in the chair.. also, close your eyes and think of something nice....like being on a Hawaiian island..
If you have an overly sensitive stomach you probably shouldn't eat a big meal before you go.. Maybe just a little snack.. My son, when he was younger, used to throw up in the bowl whenever he had to have work done.. Dentist really loved him!Health Question & Answer
