Fear of the dentist?

Panic, cold sweats, racing heart, nerves, shortness of breath, are some of the most common things people feel when they know it is time to go to the dentist. Fear of the dentist is one of the most common fears worldwide.

Perhaps the main reason is due to the thought that the dental treatment to be performed will hurt, which is not the case in most cases.

Technology is advancing every day and so is dentistry. Nowadays, very few dental treatments cause pain. The problem is that most people visit the dentist when there is already the presence of discomfort, or some advanced condition, which implies that the procedure is more invasive.

The placement of anesthesia plays a very important role, because it minimizes patient discomfort at the time of treatment.

It is important for overall health to overcome the fear of the dentist. Because a poor oral condition can cause repercussions in the rest of the body.

For this reason we give you some recommendations that may help you:

• Ask family or friends for recommendations of dentists, it is essential that the doctor gives you peace of mind.
• Request an appointment to get to know the dental clinic facilities, the dentist and his team, without any procedures being performed at that first appointment.
• Go accompanied by a family member or friend, this will allow you to feel more confident.
• Wearing your favorite music will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Anxiety and fear are the reasons why many people do not visit the dentist on a regular basis, causing a gradual deterioration of oral health and affecting people's perception of themselves by not having the smile they would like.

In Smile for All we want to help you overcome that fear, we want to encourage you to rediscover the pleasure of smiling.
