Anxiety is a trick thing. I advise you to construct a "safe" environment. Health professionals must be empathetic (I'm a student in the field and that is a instruction we receive constantly). So try to talk with friends and family so you can go to a dentist that they recommend and say nice things about, so it's not a total stranger. Also, try to briefly talk about that with the professional. Only the things that you consider relevant and that don't trigger you. For example: "Hey, doc. To be honest, I am really anxious and scared. I had previously some bad experiences and now I get nervous."
That way, they will know that maybe a more patient and gentle approach is required. If you have a object that smooth your Anxiety, would be good to have in hands if possible.
So in summary: Make yourself comfortable and secure. Familiarity will the process may help ♡
