The full guidance
Optional AI-generated voice narration reads these prompts. Voice and ambient sound can be switched off separately. Eyes can remain open; no breathing rhythm is required.
0:00–1:00 Arrive in gentle daylight
Welcome to the gentle waiting room. We will use this time to prepare a conversation with your dentist. There are no dental instruments or treatment sounds here.
The scene is an ordinary sitting room with daylight and a comfortable chair. You may look at it, look elsewhere, or simply listen with your eyes open.
1:00–2:30 Let the room be ordinary
Notice one thing in your surroundings that needs no response. A book on a shelf, a patch of light, or the shape of a cushion.
Your breathing can take its usual course. There is no count to get right and no need to make your body feel a particular way.
You can hear these words and still have mixed feelings about an appointment. This is time for preparation, not a test of how relaxed you can become.
2:30–4:30 Say what feels difficult
You do not have to revisit an upsetting experience. Think only about what you would like the dental team to know before they begin.
Perhaps you want to say: dental appointments make me anxious, and having a clear way to communicate would help me. Your own words are enough.
You may be worried about discomfort, uncertainty, or feeling unable to speak. You can name the part that matters without having to explain everything at once.
4:30–7:00 Agree how to communicate
Before treatment, ask your dentist to agree on a stop signal with you. For example, ask whether raising a hand can mean you need them to pause.
Check together what that signal will mean and how they will respond. This recording cannot make that agreement for you, but it can help you prepare the question.
You can also ask for explanations at a pace and level of detail that suits you. Tell the team if you would prefer less description.
If fear is keeping you from needed dental care, contact the practice and explain. Ask what support they can offer rather than putting off care until fear disappears.
7:00–8:30 Choose what to ask
You may keep a sentence for the reception team or the dentist. Something simple, such as: I would like to discuss my anxiety before treatment starts.
An optional choice is on the screen. You can choose a question, hold your own words in mind, or let this part pass without selecting anything.
The daylight stays steady. There is no appointment countdown in this scene. Allow a little quiet without having to rehearse the conversation again and again.
Optional next step: Agree a stop signal · Explain what helps · Contact the practice. No choice is required.
8:30–10:00 Take the words with you
Return your attention to your own room. Notice where you are sitting and what you were doing before this pause. Move a little if you would like.
Your concerns deserve a conversation whether the visit is routine or overdue. This recording does not replace dental care or advice about any symptoms.
You can finish with one useful request rather than a perfect plan. Let the dental team help you work out the next part together.

What will I see and hear?
A quiet sitting room with daylight, a comfortable chair, books and a plant. No dental chair, instruments, mouths, drill sounds or procedure simulation. Optional AI-generated female narration reads the on-screen prompts over gentle ambient sound.
Do I have to finish or complete an exercise?
No. Interactions are optional. There is no exposure exercise, score or streak. You can stop at any point to contact support. Finishing does not measure recovery or readiness.
