Overcoming Your Fears of the Dentist We fully understand that many patients still have a very real fear of attending for dental treatment (or even examination or oral hygiene treatment). This is mainly a result of a bad past dental experience and/or memories from childhood treatment or other negative experiences.
We employ a wide range of treatment techniques to help understand your specific problem or fear and to then provide treatment and care that will help re-establish your confidence in the dental professional team.
The following points are worth considering:
- Remember - you are in a safe environment
Most of our fears are born in the past or are related to the fear of the unknown. Dental practices today are quite different to what you may have previously experienced. At smile2o we have a home and try to emphasise the “homely, safe, warm feeling that you may experience when visiting a friend or family at their home. We have created comfortable lounges, provide refreshments and soothing background music and a warm friendly welcome from all in our professional team.
- Remember - your comfort is our number one priority
We do everything possible to reduce and where possible eliminate any pain, during your treatment care with us. From painless local anaesthetic techniques to the use of the most effective drugs for pain management and control. As an internationally recognised expert in this field, Dr. Wayne Williams and the rest of the team offer you the most advanced local anaesthetic techniques available.
- Remember -you can ask as many questions as you like!
Fear of the unknown, or knowing too much, can be equally concerning for a nervous patient. We will listen attentively and sincerely to your questions and do our best to provide whatever level of information you want us to. Our clinical staff are all very caring and will go that extra mile to put you ate ease.
- Be Positive
Positive reinforcement will help you overcome any fears that you may still have. Our common goal is to help you feel and look your very best, by restoring and then helping maintain your oral and dental health.
You are not alone – dental phobia is still today, a common finding all over the world. Our team are very sensitive to the needs of all our patients and we fully understand that you would expect to receive treatment and c are with us in as comfortable manner as is possible. We promise to all do our utmost to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible throughout.
Finally, the use of conscious sedation is also available at smile2o, ask us about this next time you are here for a visit or read more about this in next months articles.
