5 things that you could do to get started
- Try our 7 day beat your dental fear e-course
- watch a you tube video where we talk about what happens at your first visit to the dentist as a member of our Nervous Patient Programme.
- request an e-mail dental fear consultation to discuss your dental anxieties
- request a phone consultation to discuss your dental anxieties with one of our nurses or dentists
- speak to a friend and ask if they can help you either by coming with you to a visit
Many patients choose to go through their roadblocks, the so called "feel the fear and do it anyway" type approach and in many ways this can be a good thing as it is phenomenally empowering to do this and emerge on the other side of your own roadblock having beaten it. Equally I know this approach is not right for everyone so some strategies to allow us to take a more oblique look at the roadblock are needed.
If for example you think meeting a dentist for the first time in a while would be too difficult, you could sidestep this by meeting with or chatting to one of our experienced nursing team first. They could then help and support you through the next stage.
If your anxiety is such that you simply don't feel able to set foot in a practice then drop us an e-mail and let us know, we can put you in touch with a few professionals who can help you to reduce your dental anxiety away from the practice setting and teach you a range of anxiety and fear management techniques.
The secret though is to maintain momentum....so wherever you are in the process please try to work out what your next step will be and if we can help in any way whether it is getting past a roadblock or going around it our team are on hand to help you maintain momentum.
For our Edinburgh dental team the most rewarding part of helping people with their dental fear is to see the sheer relief on someones face as they see their anxieties shrinking down and becoming manageable.
Thank you for this post. I am needing to find a Colorado Springs dentist that I feel comfortable with. I tend to have some dental anxiety. I appreciate this information.

I think that fear of dentists is a real problem. All of my children have dealt with it and its made dental care somewhat difficult. We moved recently though to Gilbert AZ and our dentist there has really helped my youngest overcome the fear and make it an enjoyable experience.
ReplyDeleteI think that you guys have a great set up here. I think that showing people this will make them feel much more comfortable with going to your office and choosing you as their dentist. -Vaughan
