Panic button

Instructions for an easier, phobia-free life:

1. Ignore what you’re doing as you go into dentist’s surgery and wait for appointment.

2. Ask Nice Lady Dentist if you can keep your headphones in for the whole procedure.

3. Unlock iPhone. Go to iPod. Choose playlist ‘Panic Button’ and press ‘Shuffle’. Sit back and concentrate on it like nothing else exists in the universe.
