But, waiting to see your dentist will only make dental problems worse, making you spend more time and money and leaving you in more discomfort. Scheduling regular visits with your dentist can help make dental treatment much easier on many levels.
Dr. Mark Sowell and his team at Aesthetic Dentistry Centre in Plano, TX want to give you some tips to help you beat your fear of the dentist’s chair. These helpful hints can help ease your anxiety at your next appointment so you can get the care you need and keep your smile healthy and strong.
Fears tend to lose power when you speak them aloud and knowing that others are aware of your feelings and are understanding about them can be very comforting. If you’re feeling anxious, let your dental team know your concerns so they can do their best to help put you at ease. Your dentist and their team will be better able to treat you if they know your concerns.
Taking your mind off the exam might seem impossible when you’re anxious, but there are some things you can do that can help you distract yourself.
Relaxation is a state of mind and goes a long way when trying to manage dental anxiety. Try deep breathing exercises to relax tension in your muscles and relieve anxiety.
Remember: Your dentist and their team are there to help you have good oral health and a beautiful smile. They don’t want you to hurt you or make you afraid. Make sure to talk over your fears with your dental team so they can help you begin to have positive experiences at the dentist’s office. You can manage dental anxiety!
