My #Federati: do I have any good #dentists or #dentalSurgeons in my little pocket of mastodon friends?

I'm about to go through an another Dental Experience and would like to hear from people who do dental surgery to chill me out.

How do you make your patients feel less anxious? What do you do, what do you say?

How do you make a patient take, after many years of good and bad experiences, take another chance?
