Have you ever found yourself struggling to sleep the night before a dental appointment?<\/p>\n
To be so nervous and stop at the door wondering whether or not to go in to the Clinic? Whether or not to go to the appointment?<\/p>\n
To experience a slight delay and take the opportunity to postpone it to another day?<\/p>\n
Start sweating before you even open your mouth?<\/p>\n
All of this happens daily in various dental practices and is much more frequent than you might think, I assure you.<\/p>\n
Everyone says going to the dentist is expensive and that's why people let their mouths go to ruin\u2026<\/p>\n
That's not true.<\/p>\n
Dental treatments really are expensive, that much is true! And the better the dentist, the more expensive they are!<\/p>\n
What is false is that FEAR, not money, is the main factor that causes people to have all their teeth rotten...<\/p>\n
Suffering from pain... losing their teeth that should have lasted a lifetime...<\/p>\n
being unable to eat properly\u2026<\/p>\n
hiding their smile behind their hand\u2026 or simply ceasing to smile\u2026<\/p>\n
to completely lose their confidence and self-esteem\u2026<\/p>\n
living sad, colourless lives.<\/p>\n
This isn't living... it's surviving...<\/p>\n
It doesn't have to be like this!<\/p>\n
In my nearly 22 years of clinical practice, I've had many experiences with people suffering from dental phobia.<\/p>\n
People who would almost flee just from seeing me\u2026 who couldn't even get past the door that separates Reception from the inside of the Clinic\u2026<\/p>\n
who couldn\u2019t bear the thought of having to sit in that dreaded chair\u2026 and open their mouths\u2026<\/p>\n
And the anaesthetic? Ooh, the fear of needles!!!<\/p>\n
All of this is solved with the 3 C's:<\/p>\n
Understanding: through the traumas and history of each person, which originated these fears. It is sometimes necessary to return to the origins, in order to help overcome them.<\/p>\n
Trust: The relationship established between the doctor and the patient is the cornerstone that provides the necessary security for the person to trust and place themselves in the hands of those who can help them.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Competence: the absence of pain and adequate problem-solving support and reinforce the previously formed trust relationship.<\/p>\n
Does this mean that these people will start to like going to the dentist?<\/p>\n
Not at all... I admit there are much more pleasant things to do...<\/p>\n
But they can then go without sweats and panic.<\/p>\n
Carrying out treatments they never thought they could do\u2026 Implants, for example. Sometimes in the whole mouth!<\/p>\n
People empower themselves\u2026 they overcome\u2026 with our help, they reclaim what they should never have lost\u2026<\/p>\n
Your Smile\u2026 your Joy\u2026 your Confidence\u2026 and your Will to live!<\/p>\n
