Relax.: Many people are scared of novacaine. Try meditation to relax. Trust that your dentist will do whatever he/ she can to make the process easy for you. Consider using nitrous or sedation if you are very apprehensive.

Fear of injections: First- find a recommended and compassionate dentist. Second-ask to discuss this issue prior to any procedure. Third-trust the dentist as he she has extensive experience and techniques to minimize any discomfort. Fourth- see if your dentist uses "sweet air" as it really gets your mind off the treatment and relaxes you. Patients love it. Finally-like jumping in a pool\ocean, never as bad as u think!
