I have been putting off going to the dentist for like 2 years now. It started when I very first got my tremor as I was scared that my dentist would notice. Then I noticed pain made it worse then I figured I couldn’t sit still . I know I need to go but I’m so anxious and I just want to be unconscious at this point. Am I the only person doing this?

I had to tell my Dentist because my anxiety about this appointment was so bad that my body shakes uncontrollably. No hiding it. I sit on my hands the whole time lol.
Roughly 2 years ago I had dental surgery.
My my left we’re shaking so bad for an hour. After that, I just totally forgot about it. I was diagnosed with parkinson’s in June. Now that you brought the subject up. It makes sense why my leg was shaken.

I have been doing the samething. The last time I went I stuck my hands under me, essentially sitting on ny hands. I bring a tube of “chapstick” to put on my lips cause the medication gives me dry mouth. I tell them when i make the appointment that I have PD and will have someone with me to help me get in and out of the dental chair. But would like a dental hygienist who is ok with tremors and gentle. Because I am nervous and don’t want to be an emotional mess. They are normally understanding.
