I got over the dentist by taking it one little step at a time . I was petrified of the dentist 5 years ago and had to take adivan to just get in the door . I found a really good hygienist who worked slowly with me and I got to the point where I can now take X-rays without freaking at all! it all took 5 years of going every 6 months because I could never get a full cleaning done all at once. I just had a appt last week and was a bit stressed before it because the hygienist that got me over my fear was gone and I had to have someone else that I didn't know at all. I almost backed out but forced myself to do it. So glad I did, the X-rays were a piece of cake and got a full cleaning and checkup I'm so glad it's one less thing my emetophobia has control over.
