Right of course. I have no trouble telling the doctor that I have a bad neck so why should I have trouble telling him I have anxiety. I think it's the thought of being thought mentally ill. Just silly really.
Davit.

Hi Davit,
I to have had mouth surgery for my gums twice, the first was alot worse then the
second one, but I told the Doc that I had panic and anxiety and that he would
need to give me something because I didn't think I would be able to go through
with it, he said not a problem. It made the experience alot better. If I have to go
to the doc's or something similar I tell them up front that I have panic and anxiety
this way they know it isn't something they are doing wrong and they do seem
happy to be told. After all I would tell them if I had some other medical problem
right?!

I have to have some teeth surgically removed and when the dental surgeon asked about medical problems I told him I had an anxiety disorder. He said thank you it is good to know that ahead of time. I gathered that a lot of people are afraid to mention it which is just silly isn't it. Why suffer? Why confuse the dentist? Why make life harder?

ball rolling! Hopefully in the next 2 weeks I'm going to try the driving
again will let you know.

Hi All,
Just wanted to post that I had another successful trip to the dentist yesterday!
I have to go every 4 months and I alternate between two offices. I sometimes
have anxiety and most times have some form of anxiety while
I'm their so I have started to tell them when I get into the room that I'm a
big chicken and to go easy on me! It lets them no that I'm nervous and breaks the
ice so to speak. the gal I saw was new and she made me feel so comfortable
when I said that. I didn't have any panic and I thanked her for making the
visit so pleasant. I think that surprised her. I felt so good that I even walked across
the street after, to a ice cream store that my husband and I had been wanting to try
and didn't have any anxiety their either! It was a good day. I can tell that the program
and the confidence cd's are working for me. thanks for listening.
