Dental nerves and gagging

"Just wanted to write and let you know that I had my dental appointment this afternoon and it went amazingly well! Despite a few nerves and wobbles leading up to the appointment (I still had thoughts of cancelling which I had to push aside!) I was in the chair for an hour and got through it. The dentist was very happy and seemed quite relieved (although not nearly as relieved as I was!). The processes you gave me to help me through were excellent – I took control when I went in as we discussed and told the dentist that I was focused solely on a successful outcome and wanted to get straight on with it. Many many thanks for your help over the last few weeks. I now know that I can handle going to the dentist and can look forward to the rest of my treatment with confidence".
