Greetings, especially Sheryl,
I seem to have had an acute panic attack when going for a crown on the front incisor. I've checked the www and the BKK Dental hospitals (Very Expensive). What seems to be the best approach to reduce dental anxiety? It has been suggested to see the MD (Psyc) for an Rx of Anxiety medication (Valium) and take this before the procedure. Of course, have someone drive you to the office and back. It has also been suggested for the distraction technique, listening to music or an audiobook. I don't think the imagery and CBT is going to work for me. Are there any options?
I know time to buck up... Any suggestions?
