I have a long standing fear of the dentist which began in childhood. It ebbs and flows over the years, however 6 months ago I went for a cleaning and then a checkup, and I was so anxious I gagged during both appointments which has now made my anxiety even worse.
I’ve had diazepam once for a flight and they worked really well. Can a doctor prescribe these again to take the edge off my nerves for the dentist? Or does it have to be the dentist? I’ve got appointments in a couple of weeks which I am already working myself up about.
