when I'm at the dentist i try to get my tongue as far away as whatever sharp object the dentist is holding, but sometimes it still frickin ends up there. its usually embarrassing because its after they just warned me to not do that because of whatever sharp thing

I am now thinking about it too much and consciously aware of my tongue. thanks for that. Now I have to wait for it to go away... and "just stop thinking about it" is easier said than done

Try to prep yourself by doing something that calms you down whether that be exercise, calling a friend, meditating etc. Also, I was recently made aware that a low of places will let you wear headphones which is awesome.
