For Nervous Patients

Are you scared to go to dentist ?

Are you scared to go to dentist clinics to get the treatment that you need? The fear of dentists is a reality for many. Children and adults alike struggle with it. We understand the fear and do our utmost to put your fears to rest. Being afraid to go to the dentist is perhaps the primary reason that adults delay seeking treatment for decay, damage and pain.

While this is understandable, delaying treatment can be problematic. A small and simple to restore cavity can quickly lead to larger concerns with decay.

  • It could lead to an abscess or the ultimate loss of the tooth.
  • Getting treatment before issues are allowed to escalate can help to prevent and protect against an emergency situation.

The most common fear of the dentist is based on a fear of the unknown. Many of us don’t particularly enjoy spending time in any medical setting that could involve drills and injections. But how much do you truly know about the treatments that you are in need of? The more you know, the better you’ll feel about each treatment and the processes involved in those treatments.

Misinformation can also be responsible for a fear of the dentist. Patients may have heard that certain treatments are unconfortable or unpleasant but at Fingerpost Dental we will endeavour to ensure that you are comfortable, relaxed and feel no pain or discomfort during any procedures that you need.

    Previous Negative Dental Experiences

    Previous dental experiences can contribute to a fear of seeking dental treatment today. Perhaps you’ve had a dentist who didn’t listen to your concerns, or you’ve experienced pain during treatment. Some of the sounds heard and experiences had at the dentist could bring back traumatic memories. Call the clinic to make an appointment or book your appointment online.  Contact Us and take your first step to getting over your fear of dentists

    Treating a fear of dentists

    There are countless concerns and previous experiences that could be responsible for a patient having a fear of the dentist. Both children and adults alike could struggle with getting into the clinic for routine checkups and treatment for decay or damage to teeth.

    Working through a fear of dentists

    There are a number of things that can help boost your confidence when it comes to how to not be scared of the dentist. Perhaps the most important thing that you can take control of is the level of communication that you have with your dentist. Speak openly and be honest about any anxiety and other concerns that you have. If your dentist is aware of your concerns, then your dentist will be able to offer solutions.

    Being mindful of your breathing can help you to relax. It can also help to focus your attention when you are feeling tense and stressed. When we feel stressed, we tend to tense up without being aware of what we are doing. Being tense can frequently make us focus more on any type of discomfort than if we were relaxed.

    There are also medicines, like diazepam, that can be offered to patients who need to have their nerves calmed prior to a visit to the dentist for a procedure.
