Need some tips to help me cope when going to the dentist?

Let the dentist ; /: Or staff know about your anxiety before hand. Breath in slowly ; deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to.
