I'm afraid this might be the weirdest question you've been asked, but here goes--How can I get over the fear of the dentist looking up my nose? I haven't been to the dentist in years because of this fear. I read somewhere that dental assistants wish you would clean your nose before they work on you. You can see pretty far up my nostrils when my head is back and I'm afraid of being mocked and laughed at by the dentist or staff. I think this happened the last time I was at the dentist. Can I ask to wear a mask to put over my nose like the dentist and staff have? I really need dental work and am not afraid of the pain or much else involved, just this fear. Well, also the fear of being embarrassed because of the cavities I have, but this is way overshadowed by the other fear. This might seem like a prank question, but it is very serious to me. Thanks for any help you can give me.
