A. To get to the dentist try some relaxation audio books etc. ring a few dentists to find out if the receptionist is helpful. agree to have a examination only ( just looking)try not to stress the examination remember it is only looking. onc the dentist has some idea you can arrange how to manage treatment. Tablet sedatives taken beforehand will help you make it to the appointment. some practices also offer sedative injections for concentrated and deep relaxation during treatment. costs do vary for this. call 01216430610 for details.
