Dental anxiety is a common phenomenon that affects a significant number of individuals. The dental phobia can be attributed to various factors, including fear of pain, needles or the dental environment itself.

It's estimated that approximately 9-20% of individuals around the world avoid dental appointments due to anxiety or fear, leading to potential oral health issues.

How your dental clinic can help with dental anxiety

Open Communication:
Establishing open communication with your dentist is crucial. Share your fears and concerns to create a supportive environment. Dentists are trained to work with anxious patients and can adjust their approach accordingly.

Gradual Exposure:
Gradual exposure to the dental environment can help desensitise fears. Start with brief visits, allowing yourself to become familiar with the surroundings before undergoing more extensive procedures.

Relaxation Techniques:
Incorporating relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, can help manage anxiety during dental appointments. Some dental offices also offer amenities like calming music or television to create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Sedation Dentistry:
For individuals with severe dental anxiety, sedation dentistry may be an option. This involves using sedatives to induce a state of relaxation, ensuring a more comfortable experience: Discuss with your dentists.

How to get over fear of dentist
 

Visualisation:

Use positive visualisation to imagine a calm and stress-free dental experience. Picture yourself in the dental chair feeling relaxed and confident. Visualisation can help reframe your mindset.
Choose a Supportive Dentist:

Look for a dentist who specialises in treating anxious patients. A dentist experienced in managing dental anxiety will take extra care to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Bring a Supportive Friend or Family Member:

Having a trusted friend or family member accompany you to dental appointments can provide emotional support and reassurance.
Distraction Techniques:

Bring headphones and listen to calming music or an audiobook during the procedure. Distracting yourself with something enjoyable can shift your focus away from anxiety-inducing thoughts.
Regular Dental Checkups:

Schedule regular checkups to maintain oral health. Consistent dental visits for preventive care can help reduce the likelihood of more invasive treatments, minimizing anxiety triggers.
Reward Yourself:

Plan a small reward for yourself after a dental appointment as a positive reinforcement. It could be a favorite treat, a relaxing activity, or anything that brings you joy.
