Fear of the dentists-any advice?

My son has a fear of the dentists even though he's never been, its always a battle the odd times he has to go to the doctors, he gets too stressed. Hospitals can be a nightmare. He starts to panic and get stressed at the mere mention of going to the dentist. When he has toothache I hate seeing him in pain , but I dont want to stress him out because he is a strong and tall 15 year old. is there anyway of making the dentist a little less threatening?

  • Hi I wish I could give you advice on this but I have the same problem with my 14 yr old son in all the areas you are describing , I can just get him to the doctors , hospital appointments and that is a struggle but I can't get him to the dentist , also I need a urine sample off him , he refuses, he just can't he says it's too weird
