Dental Anxiety

Does anyone have any tips or any ideas to get through a regular dental cleaning next week?

I’ve struggled to be comfortable with an office for more than 2 appointments. My childhood dentist told me I wasn’t cooperating for a filling one time and would just touch my shoulder in an uncomfortable for me way. So I switched and this dentist seemed upset when I told him my bite felt off. Switched again and the next hygienist was upset I gagged and needed suction to relax. I’m just worried about switching again. Their office seemed super nice and assuring on the phone. I’m just worried about it.

It took me getting braces and such to finally get used to dentists. Such loud noises and such! *shivers*  But now I'm totally used to it. It just took a lot of getting used to <3
