I am scared to go to the dentist. How to prepare myself?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are in tooth pain, you definitely have to visit the dentist as soon as possible. You might not know which tooth does the trouble and it is always better to address at an earlier stage rather than postponing which might lead to a serious trouble or complex treatment. Few tips for the first dental visit are as follows. Call and make an appointment with your local dentist asking for a consultation and mention it in case it is the first visit. Ask for a clinic tour as you go for the first time. Make yourself comfortable on the dental chair because it is going to be just a checkup under the light. Make a second appointment for the treatment depending on the severity of the dental problem. Take any one of your friends or siblings along with you with whom you will be always comfortable and not with the support person who freaks out more than you. Dental treatment is not meant to be always under a needle prick. There are so many methods for pain relief where you would not even realize that you got a needle prick at all. For pain relief at the moment, please take tablet Panadol (Paracetamol) thrice daily after food for three days. I hope this helps. Thank you.
