Approximately 5 to 10 percent of U.
S.
adults...
experience dental phobia, i.
e.
they are so fearful of receiving dental treatment that they avoid dental care at all costs.
" Naturally, this sort of extreme phobia is not at all rational.
But there are many cases of ordinary citizens experiencing horrible dental treatment early on in their lives and because of the very personal nature of dentistry, fear has taken over in the patient's mind.
However, in a modern and a progressive dental office, it is possible for a person to relax, as these types of dental practices are designed with the "fearful patient" in mind.
How to Put Dental Fear to Work for Your Dental Blueprint Learn to accept and appreciate that you are not alone in your dental fear, or anywhere else in life.
Many people suffer, and if you are concerned about them, you can help your mind move away from dwelling on your own story.
The modern, progressive dentist not only uses the subtle background elements of aspects of practice such as interior design, but also uses the latest technology for both patient comfort and the dentist's ability to provide the very highest quality dentistry.
There are also a number of procedures, such as bonding which are not only 100 percent pain free but also provide amazing results for patients who want to improve their entire appearance.
Cosmetic dentistry is becoming a true art form, which is actually a sculptural form.
The adroit practitioner can take on serious gaps among the teeth and fill the area, sculpting it to truly enhance the patient's smile-this amazing service without making it appear that the tooth has been enlarged.
And, this priceless addition to the person's sense of wellbeing and self-assurance is accomplished without surgery-no pain, but a big gain.
The amazing possibilities of dentistry are getting better daily.
You Are Not Alone In the majority of cases, people who are deeply frightened by the thought of a visit to a dentist are not even aware that a large proportion of the citizenry could directly relate with them when it comes to phobias about going to the dentist.
The healthiest way to look at the situation is that it is natural to be concerned about one's welfare- in the deepest recesses of our gene code, we are programmed to protect our bodies from trauma.
And it makes really good sense for the body to want to protect itself.
Let's Take a Look at Phobia Just when you are having a good chat with a friend, enjoying that sugary treat at the coffeehouse, you feel a bit of pain shoot up from one of your molars.
Your mind automatically puts two and two together, and you know that you should make an appointment with the dentist right away.
But all of a sudden you feel hot and nervous right out of nowhere.
You don't pull out your cell, call the dental office and take care of it-you avoid it all over again.
If that scenario sounds familiar, you are probably one of the millions who face dental phobias on a regular basis.
Phobias are extreme reactions to simple situations.
But when some event takes place in our lives, and we don't have the proper guidance to put it in perspective, the situation can linger in our minds.
If you continue to react to more severe phobia, your medical doctor and mental health professionals may be required as a part of your dental blueprint.
Very intense phobic reactions, and any series of ongoing phobic aversion to the dental environment that is triggering serious dental disease due to lack of visitations, must be faced head-on with experts right away.
So do not hesitate to contact them.
