HELP ME! I've got to go for my fourth filling, I'm extremely scared because I know how painful the needles are and I'm really scared.
Because, I used to go to a dentist near the marketplace. He was my first dentist because I hadn't been to a dentist in 6 years and my teeth were VERY bad. But because I was young I thought he'd clean them and he'd be a miracle worker. But he didn't. I needed my first filling and it was MASSIVE. He put bonjela on my gum and injected the needle but because I didn't know it would hurt I didn't cry. After I needed another, but he didn't give me anything and I broke down crying. Then I needed another, again I SCREAMED. Then I needed another but I was scared so much I changed dentists. My new one said I didn't need any but the first filling. Therefore I do not need another filling. But its been 3 years and now I need it!
I'm scared the needle will hurt as much as the others did. This dentist has numbing gel and thats it. NO WAND AND NO GAS. I'm terrified. He understood that I was extremely scared though and he arranged for a lady to do the treatment (because she specialises in painless dentistry). My old dentist made the needle last half a second and then the pain struck me after. But I dont want it slow either because if it hurts I'l want it to go QUICK!
What can I do to calm myself? My Dad has had treatment their and told me how I get to pick the flavoured numbing gel and I wont feel the needle. But does anybody have anything I could do? Maybe to numb it more before treatment?
I go for treatment on TUESDAY the 31st of MARCH (I think its the 31st...)

(P.S- I have edited this post because I am now a little less scared. I think I can handle it now but I still need techniques and stuff )
