Create positive associations with your dentist visits.
It’s hard to have a good day when you have to visit the local dentistry cosmetic office and that in and of itself probably helps to reinforce phobias. So what you can do in order to help assuage some of your fears is simple: create positive associations with your dental visits. For example, you can start getting into the habit of treating yourself after you go to the dentist. if you just have a simple cleaning, perhaps go for a nice walk afterwards or spend an extra couple dollars to go see a movie afterwards. You want to initiate a sort of Pavlov like response that has you expecting a reward after your visits rather than simply fearing them or stressing them going into the visit.
