How to stop being scared of the dentist?!
Question: How to stop being scared of the dentist.?
I am getting another tooth pulled out tommorow (Grrrrr!). I already had one taken out on Tuesday. I forgot how scared I was of getting my teeth pulled out. Not so much the pulling, more so the injections. I admit, last time, I started to get nervous for some reason or the other and tears started to roll down my face. Mind you, dentist didn't really help who asked me why I crying. :l How do you stop being scared.?Health Question & Answer

Hello toffeebear15,
The injections, or rather shots, are to help you throughout the operation, or visit if you prefer. They numb your mouth area (you probably know, just retelling.)
I could see that you are scared of needles, or generally vaccines. Vaccines and those dental shots are to help you, so don't be scared.
Here is how I go to the dentist and don't be scared: think of it as something to remove your stress. Some people like me actually do like the feeling of the shots because of the stress I get from my sister (please don't tell my sister =D.)
What I recommend you to is: orthodontists are to help you. Just think of them in their underclothes. This doesn't help me because I laugh, but helps a lot of people. If this doesn't help, just be cool and tell your friend/family/relative to buy you a treat (no ice cream, just noodles or anything that is healthy and goes with your doctor's suggested meal for the day.) If you like video games, play video games after. I bet you can pass the level you want, because you'll be hyper when you pop that door open.
Hope this helps you,

You should discuss some sort of sedation with your dentist. Some as easy as laughing gas, or even a pill can go a long way in making your experience less stressful.
