Heya, this is my first post on here after lurking for quite a while. I'm 17, and I've been terrified of anything dental-related since my first traumatic experience at the dentist when I was about 6, and even more so with my traumatic experience at 15 for my wisdom teeth removal. I have an appointment next Tuesday for a cleaning and I don't think I can physically get through it. I'm being prescribed Valium 10mg and I'm getting nitrous for the appointment, but I'm just afraid it won't be strong enough. When should I take the Valium? Does it mix well with nitrous? What percentage can I expect the nitrous to be on? I'm physically shaking here just typing this. I tend to make a run for it at appointments, and sit there having a panic attack in the waiting room. I'm scared because I know I have a cavity/multiple cavities because I saw one on my back tooth in the mirror a few days ago. I'm extremely afraid of needles as well, I cry and faint whenever a needle gets near me. I don't know what to do or what to expect from this, and I'm hoping for at least a little comfort without sugarcoating the truth.
Thanks for reading and listening
