Hey Kyue,
There are some dentists here in the US that practice "painless dentristry". They administer an anesthetic and you sleep through the process. You may try looking for something like this. From my past experience a little reefer helps too.
Do dentist give you cannabis in the US!?

That's what I thought too until I tried it.
As a cheaper option, I may drink before going to dentists. It may help. Fingers crossed. I'll put cotton wools into my ears to avoid hearing the sounds too.

From Wikipedia: "The use of hypnosis in dentistry has a long history. Dealing with hypnodontia – the use of hypnosis in dentistry – has attested to the increasing sophistication of hypnotic procedures to deal with the special problems of the dental patient. Besides smoothing out dental procedures by way of its generalized anti-anxiety effects, it can increase overall patient comfort, make the dental experience acceptable and bearable, decrease resistance to future intervention, and through posthypnotic suggestions, encourage more rapid recovery."

Originally posted by kyueI am not sure if that's a good idea. I am hypersensitive to sound myself and hate the sounds of the dental drill etc., but when the dentist works inside your mouth, you'll get a lot of sounds through the bones rather than through the ears, and those sounds will be worse if you use ear plugs (have you ever tried talking while using ear plugs?). You could try it, though, and take them out if you find out that it makes things worse.

I had one dentist who alerted me of the sounds, saying things like "this will make a different sound". Neat.

Last time I had it I told the girl that nothing was coming thru so she turned the volume up. In about 3 minutes I burst out laughing at the dentist. I didn't know why I was laughing but I couldn't stop. Took a long time for them to finish, but I didn't care. It was a good time. 😵
