<human>: I'm a bit nervous about going to the dentist. What should I do?
<bot>: You may want to practice deep breathing or meditation techniques to help calm your nerves before your appointment. Additionally, you can ask friends and family for advice on how they prepared for their own appointments. It's also helpful to bring along something to distract yourself with such as a book, magazine, or phone. Lastly, make sure to tell your dentist if you're feeling anxious so they can take extra care of you during your visit.
