We all know very well that they are visits to the dentist often unpleasant. The author of the text himself would also like to say that he is looking forward to visiting his colleagues, but, unfortunately, this is not true.
As the psyche tells us on the one hand that we should avoid unpleasant situations, i.e. visits to the dentist, and others, common sense forces us to, for the sake of dental health and health in general, still go to the scheduled appointment, a few tricks that will make these visits seem much more pleasant can help you to make the visit to the dentist easier.
Rest - our body reacts differently to external stimuli when it is tired and exhausted (both physically and mentally).
A tired organism is much more sensitive than a healthy and rested body, so it is recommended that you schedule your visits to the dentist early in the morning or, if you have a habit of taking an afternoon nap, in the afternoon.
Ultimately, do not do anything physical or stressful at least an hour before going to the dentist.
Those hours of rest mean a lot to the body.
Meals - never go to the dentist on an empty stomach.
First, low blood glucose makes you more irritable than usual; secondly, the secretion of saliva is increased when you are hungry, which makes it difficult for the dentist to work; thirdly, some interventions are not recommended "on an empty stomach" (such as tooth extraction), because there is an increased tendency to collapse.
Meals should be light so that the food itself does not irritate the stomach too much, and thus irritate you.
Medicines - if you have a pronounced phobia of the dentist, it would not be a bad idea to take some sedative.
One tablet of benzedine or diazepam will do the job.
On the other hand, if you plan to extract a tooth, you must not drink aspirin, andol, anbol, midol, acetisal, etc., 7 days before the intervention, because of the resulting prolonged bleeding.
And finally, if you think your intervention will be painful or you simply don't want to risk whether it is or not, feel free to ask the dentist to give you anesthesia.
