Sedation: Your problem of anxiety is very common. Tell your dentist and ask if he can help with something to help with your anxiety for the visit or sedation. If your dentist cannot help, ask for a recommendation to a dentist who does use sedation.Speak to your dentist and ask for a prescription for a mild sedative.

Terrified of the: dentist? Consider CBT or learn relaxation exercises that you can do prior to and sometimes during the procedure. Make sure you make your dentist aware of your fear.
