[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- thanks to those of you with supportive advice. To the others, I'm amazed at the vitriol for an honest, vulnerable question. I've made a random dentist apt for three weeks from now, until that point, any additional suggestions for dentists in downtown DC (Metlife insurance covered plus) that are accommodating for dental fear are greatly appreciated.[/quote] Get a prescriptions for ativan and take one before your appointment. I think dentists can even prescribe this in advance but your doctor certainly can. I used to have a bad fear of flying and started taking an ativan before flights. Not only did it help but the experience of flying without my usual anxiety desensitized me so that I can now fly much more comfortably even when I don't take an ativan. For something very specific that doesn't happen very often, medication like that can really be helpful.[/quote]
