Dealing with Dental Anxiety: My Wisdom Teeth Extraction Experience

Last night, I was so anxious I couldn't sleep. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth taken out... again. Things didn't go so well the first time and I'm terrified it will happen again, despite reassurances from my boyfriend. The appointment isn't for another month but I'm still scared. Yes, my doctor knows of my past experience and he assured me that I'll be okay, I'm not sure if I can trust him because I don't know this oral surgeon...Like I didn't know the last one. I woke up anxious this morning, a carry over anxiety from last night. What can I do to calm down?

Is there any way to have your boyfriend in the room with you while you have the procedure done? Or a family member you trust? I know for me that a plan always helps relieve a bit of the stress

I'm not sure, with Covid still around they might not allow it.
