Did you know that over 75 of adults experience dental anxiety?
Of those, 5-10 experience a fear so profound that its classified as dental phobia.

What can you as a dental professional do to help your patients overcome their fears?

If you can see that a patient is anxious, simple guidance throughout the treatment explaining exactly what will happen and what sensations they can expect can do miracles, as they may be afraid simply because they dont know exactly whats being done, and how it might feel.

If guidance doesnt help, you can assure them that their fear is not uncommon, and recommend making an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist in order to conquer this fear long-term via therapy.

Dont forget to stress the importance of a good oral-care routine clean teeth dont decay, so there is a higher chance that each routine check-up wont be followed by drilling or any other unpleasant procedures.
