Moms to Sensory Kids: Does the Going to the Dentist Ever Get Better?

2nd trip to the dentist for my just-turned 3 year old. Hyperventilating, screaming from the moment we entered until the moment we left. I know lots of kids hate the dentist, particularly at this age, but this was extreme behavior. We are increasing our # of visits to every 3 months and going to start taking "field trips" there in hopes he can reduce his anxiety of the office at least. If you are a mom with a kid with SPD, is there hope it gets better over the years? Any advice?
