Hi Lexirae,
I know you can make it to the dental surgery.
Talk to the dentist before starting a procedure. There are things the dentist can do to make the experience easier for you.
Let us know how it goes.
I don't want to encourage meds onto you but don't you have a 5 mg of oxazepam for these kind of situations? To take the edges off? I do that when visiting the dentist. And I'm kinda anti meds but once in a while I take them when I have to. It helps a lot. Maybe tell your dentist how you feel about going there and ask him to reassure you. Take care. You can do it!!!!
