I'm a little nervous about the dentist. What can I do to make the experience more pleasant?

One thing you could do is bring along some music or an audiobook that you enjoy listening to, so that you have something enjoyable to listen to while you're in the waiting room. You could also try bringing some snacks and drinks with you, so that you won't be tempted to buy anything expensive from the vending machines. Finally, if you're feeling anxious before your appointment, it might help to take deep breaths and practice mindfulness techniques like meditation.
