A short YouTube transcript of Dr. Nicole Cain and a speaker discussing preparation strategies for managing dental anxiety before a long dental procedure. The speaker and Dr. Cain describe assembling a "panic pack" (earplugs, earbuds, kava kava, fidgets, heavy blanket, comfy clothes) and share practical tips to stay calm during an appointment.

Got my kava kava to take before and fidgets are life, like this little squeezy cat and this little spiky thing. And of course, I'm going to wear comfy clothes and.
Maybe even bring.
A heavy blanket.
Getting dental work isn't always the most fun thing, but there are things that we can do to make it just a little bit easier. What helps you when you go to the dentist?
