Waiting to see the dentist will only make dental issues worse and cause you to spend more time, money and discomfort. Scheduling regular visits with your dentist can actually help make the entire process much easier on many levels.
Dr. Amy Marckese at DentalSpa Indy has transformed the dental experience and wants to give you some tips to help you beat your fear of the dentist’s chair. Use these helpful hints at your next appointment to help ease your anxiety and keep your smile healthy and strong.
Your dental team can adjust your treatment if they know that you struggle with fear of the dentist. It’s a common problem, which is why DentalSpa Indy works hard to create a spa-like experience. However, we know that your surroundings can only do so much to calm your anxiety, so be sure to let us know if you’re uncomfortable.
Taking your mind off the exam might seem impossible when you’re anxious, but there are some things you can do that that can help you distract yourself.
Many patients who don’t have dental anxiety still become tense during their treatment. It’s important to check in with yourself and center yourself so you can recognize the tension and relax. Try these mindfulness techniques during your appointment:
Remember: Your dentist and their team are here to help you have a healthier smile. They don’t want you to be afraid or to hurt you. Make sure to communicate your fears so they can help you begin having positive experiences at the dentist’s office.
