Asthma attacks can lead to stressful situations. To avoid nervous situations in Dental clinic, you can try these strategies to curb your anxiety.

Slow down and breathe.

Focus on breathing regularly and slowly during dental procedures.

When you are nervous, you are more likely to hold your breath, which decreases oxygen levels and increases panic.

Avoid caffeine before a dental appointment. Caffeine can intensify anxiety.

Eat a proper meal. On the day of your appointment, make sure you eat a balanced meal.

Plan carefully. Book your appointment for a time of day when you’re less likely to feel rushed.

Always remember to bring your inhaler to your dental appointment in case of an asthma attack.
