I practice meditation in the chair, focus on slow deep breathing. I'll concentrate on the feeling of the air moving through my nose, into my chest, and the sensation of the warmer, moister air as it leaves. Takes my mind off what the dentist or hygienist is doing. Any discomfort is noted, ignored, and I go back to the breathing.
