<human>: I'm a bit nervous about going to the dentist. What can I do to make it less scary?
<bot>: One way to make going to the dentist less scary is to practice relaxation techniques beforehand. Try deep breathing, visualization, or progressive muscle relaxation. You could also ask your dentist for some tips on how to manage any anxiety you may feel during the visit. Additionally, if you have a friend or family member who has been to the dentist before, ask them what they found helpful in making the experience less overwhelming.
