Hello. I am new here, and looking for some advice on how to get my mom, who I help care for long distance, to go to the dentist. She is long overdue and has a lot of anxiety about going to the point that I think I will have to fly back to take her myself. I don't mind, but I'm concerned because but she does not trust my siblings who live nearby to take her.

Thanks.
