I've definitely done the audiobook thing too—really helps me zone out during procedures. Never really got visualization to work though...maybe I wasn't practicing enough beforehand? But you're spot-on about talking openly with the dentist. Mine always walks me through what's happening, and somehow knowing exactly what's coming makes it way less scary. Good luck with your extraction, you'll probably surprise yourself with how well you handle it.
Totally agree about the dentist talking you through it—makes a huge difference. Have you tried deep breathing exercises? I've seen patients who swear by it, especially if visualization isn't their thing...might be worth a shot. Good luck, you've got this.
