Practice definitely helps - the first few interviews I was a nervous wreck but once I got a feel for the typical "interview format" I chilled out quite a lot.
A couple of other things that help is paying attention to your posture and just accepting that you're as prepared as you're going to be. Regarding posture, don't be afraid to lean back in your chair during question/discussion periods of an interview. You can cross your lower legs and rest your hands in your lap or on the arm rests. This is a casual, comfortable posture and will reflect that you're at ease. Bonus: I've noticed interviewers will sometimes mimic your posture and follow suit if they're liking you - that can provide a huge confidence boost if you notice them doing so.
As for accepting your level of preparedness, you only know what you know and it's the combination of knowing the right things and being likable that will get you a job, not knowing everything perfectly. If you don't know something (especially as a new dev), nobody will fault you if you speak up and say something like "well, I actually admit I don't know the answer to that, but to figure out the answer I would do x, y, and z." Many interviewers appreciate the new dev asking questions if they get stuck during any coding bits too; it shows them how you will work with others and deal with pressure/getting stuck in the real world - you aren't expected to know how to do your job immediately either.
Other than that, just breathe! If they offer you a glass of water, definitely take it and sip on it! Wear something you feel awesome in! Smile, and have fun with it, because both sides dread the interviewing process - make them remember talking with you because you were genuinely fun to be around.
