I've always been kinda nervous about dentist visits, so lately I've been trying a few things to calm down. First, I schedule appointments early in the morning so I don't spend the whole day worrying. Then, I usually listen to music or podcasts on headphones during the appointment—helps distract me from all those creepy dentist noises, you know? Also, deep breathing exercises beforehand seem to help a bit.
Does anyone have other tricks that work better? I'm open to suggestions...

Totally relate to this...those dentist sounds are the worst. One thing that's helped me is bringing a stress ball or something small to fidget with. Keeps my hands busy and distracts me a bit from the anxiety. Worth a shot maybe?
