I have some top advice to questions that I regularly get asked from nervous patients.
I'll keep them short, and give you a new one each day for the next few days.
What can I do at home to start to overcome my fear?
A useful technique that can be rehearsed before coming to the practice is to visualise a happy/ euphoric memory such as the birth of a child or scoring a hat-trick or passing your finals or getting married. Remember the great feeling that memory gives you. Gives you a great lift doesn't it!
So when your next sitting in the dental chair don't think about the treatment, that's in-hand.The dentist can fix your problem. Think instead of that happy memory and the feeling that memory gives you, keep focussed on just that one thing. This may well give you the 'fly on the wall experience' where you feel 'distanced' from the proceedings, and much better able to cope with the experience.
