Any dentist offices with a support dog? Does anyone know of any dentist offices in North or East Austin with an office/support dog that hangs out with nervous patients? I know this is a crazy question, but I have some severe dentist-related anxiety, and I'm new to Austin, so I figured it might be worth asking before I choose a dentist here even though it's a long shot.
I tried to look on Google, but no matter what I search, I just find veterinary dentists and articles on taking your support animal with you to the dentist.

Have you looked into sedation dentistry? I had to have a root canal once and was nervous about my asthma (not about the procedure since I've have a few) and not being able to breathe during and it was awesome! They gave me a little pill, I fell sleep then woke up when it was done and on my way. Some people haven't heard of it so figured I'd ask. I don't go to this place but here's some info about it. 👍 https://www.advancedsmilecenter.com/sedation-dentistry
