Afraid of the dentist? How do you deal with it?
In our October issue of the Harvard Mental Health Letter, we offer advice about how to manage dental phobia. I鈥檇 love to hear from readers of this blog about what techniques they use to cope with their own dental fear. I鈥檒l compile representative replies in a later post.
(This issue is one I grapple with myself. Every time I go to the dentist, my palms sweat and my pulse pounds. Anti-anxiety drugs haven鈥檛 helped much, so I鈥檝e been experimenting with different relaxation methods.)
Are you afraid of the dentist? What helps you? What hasn鈥檛 helped? What advice would you offer someone else?
Please email replies directly to [email protected] and put 鈥淒ental fear鈥� in the subject line.
Thanks so much!
