“Can I request sedation if visiting the dentist makes me nervous?”
I get very, very anxious at the dentist's office. Can I request sedation dentistry if visiting the dentist makes me nervous?

Not all offices are prepared for sedation. You should ask your dentist. Maybe he can prescribe you a pill to calm you before the procedure. Take it before with a sip of water.
It's up to your dentist.
Yes, you may request sedation from your dentist. Depending on your dentist’s preferences you may receive nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or intravenous sedation. You should check with your dentist’s office if they offer these options so that you can both come to a decision together.
