[quote=Anonymous]I suffer dental anxiety and have it well managed, currently. I had to find a new dentist after my long time wonderful dentist retired. I asked for recs from friends and neighbors for siomeone who is kind. When I met my now dentist, I was upfront about my anxiety. I explained to him what it feels like for me being in the chair, even for just a cleaning. I let him know what helps me: not being flat on my back, being informed of sounds and smells which might occur, being told how much longer it would be, etc. I recently had a cleaning with a new hygienist and I filled her in beforehand. I had minimal anxiety! As far as root canal, go to an endodontist and white knuckle it if you have to...you don't want an infection. What area are you in?[/quote]
