Some people get a bit nervous about the idea of going to the dentist. As a result of progress in diagnosis and treatment, the process has become much more comfortable. Tell your dentist and the dental staff if you’re feeling tense or anxious. They will understand and will adapt the treatment to your needs. Choose a time for your dental visit when you’re less likely to be rushed or under pressure. If the sound of the drill bothers you, listen to your favorite music on your phone. You can also relax by simply visualizing yourself somewhere you feel relaxed.
