Most people with a dental phobia, the fear is tied up within the dentist-patient relationship. We would like to hear your thoughts on the following topics. Many times dental phobic or dental anxious patients can find comfort in knowing they are not alone – although they may feel that way until they meet or hear of someone experiencing the same things they do when faced with a visit to the dentist.
Consider the below questions, they are meant to be thought provoking – many times your wishes can easily be accomodated, all you need to do is communicate or express your thoughts with your dentist or their team. Most dental offices consider your comfort and trust their number one priority – once they have that together you begin to work together on ensuring your oral health is the best it could possibly be….
- What would my “ideal” visit to a dentist be like?
- What would the dentist be like? the dental support team?
- What would they do?
- What wouldn’t they do?
- How would I like to talk? In the dental chair in or in an office?
- Are there things I would prefer not to see? or smell? or hear?
- What relaxes me? Can I integrate that with my visit? (listening to music, reading, knitting, etc.)
