I'm a bit nervous about going to the dentist. What can I do to make it less scary?

One way to make going to the dentist more comfortable is to create a positive mindset. Remind yourself that dentists are highly trained professionals who have years of experience and know what they're doing. Ask your dentist for advice on how to prepare for your visit, such as brushing your teeth beforehand or bringing along snacks to distract you. Also, practice deep breathing and visualization techniques before arriving at the dental office.
