Well, you have a pleasant day planned......no, of course, you don't.

I remember you have anxiety at times when driving and the dentist isn't within your comfort zone. If there is a Uber service near you, why don't you use that for transportation, and let the dentists know about your medical condition and request he use nitrous oxide to calm you before any work is done on your teeth, but be certain he has your medications on record in the event that may prevent him from using the "laughing gas". Thinking of you, as I have a difficult time sitting in a dentist chair, and always remind the staff I'm the biggest coward on the face of the earth. You'll make it through, but please do not drive if you think you'll have a panic attack, that is not safe for you or anyone else driving.
