Dealing with dental anxiety has been a real struggle for me. Every time I think about going to the dentist, my heart starts racing and I feel this overwhelming sense of fear. It’s really affected my overall dental health because I end up avoiding appointments altogether. But I’m determined to overcome this anxiety. I’ve been doing some research and seeking out therapists who specialize in phobias to help me work through this. I’ve also started practicing relaxation techniques to help calm my mind before appointments. I know it’s going to take time, but I’m committed to facing my fears and taking control of my dental health. If anyone else has dealt with dental anxiety and has any tips or support to offer, I would really appreciate it.
