    Lay back, close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax your knees and elbows, and hum under your breath. The stick to get a fill stings for two to three seconds. You spent more time writing that post

Don't look. Try to relax. Deep breaths. Tell ur dr if u feel light headed or anything from the fear. Let him know beforehand u r scared

The stick to get a fill stings for two to three seconds. You spent more time writing that post than it will take to get a fill.

You managed to get through surgery and that would have involved a number of needles/drips etc. A fill is just a walk in the park.

i was the same way and i closed my eyes and next thing i knew the dr said ok, sit up...I was like it's in?? I promise you, I didn't even feel a prick.....I laughed at myself afterwards for being scared for nothing....i've had 3 total and only my 3rd one I felt a little prick but nothing major....

Your doctor can prescribe something for anxiety that you can take before your fill appointment. I would do the first fill without it though because you may find out that you really don't need to take anything at all.
