Most adults don't have room for their wisdom teeth, so when they try to grow in, they push on the other teeth, and that can hurt like hell. Honestly, I'd recommend practising imagining something that really makes you happy....a favourite birthday party or your first kiss or your first kid or ... well, you get the picture. One of my favourite memories is summer vacation with my family. Just "go there" in your mind while you're sitting in the dentist's chair, and focus on breathing. Ain't nothing but good stuff happen' here....LOL. You can do this.
