Dentophobia, or fear of dentists, is a common phobia among people of all ages. It is sometimes related to iatrophobia, or fear of doctors, as well as trypanophobia, or fear of needles. Dentophobia may be mild or severe, and can eventually lead to devastating consequences.
Tips to ease dental fear -
If you're anxious about seeing the dentist, here are some tips to ease the fear:
Find an understanding dentist. Ask friends and family, or look for someone who specialises in treating anxious patients. Search for your local dentists here.
Once you've found someone you think may be suitable, visit the surgery to have a look around, meet the receptionist and dentist and see the environment. Tell the dentist that you're anxious and what your fears are, so they know beforehand.
Pick an appointment time early in the morning so you have less time to dwell on it.
The first appointment will simply be a check-up so don't worry about having any treatment. See this first visit as your chance to get to know the dentist.
Take a friend with you to your appointment. The dentist won't mind if they accompany you throughout the check-up or treatment.
Agree a sign with the dentist to signal that you need a break and want them to stop. It can be as simple as pointing your finger, and will help you feel more in control.
If you think it will help, start gradually with a clean and polish then work up to other treatments, such as fillings, once you've built up trust and rapport with your dentist.
Talk to the dentist about using a numbing gel if you have a fear of needles.
Use headphones to listen to music during your visit. It may help you relax.
