<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd while some fears are avoidable like flying on\na plane, when it comes to healthcare, avoidance is not a good plan long-term.\nWhich brings us nicely onto the subject of dental phobias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people have concerns about visiting their\ndental team for a biannual check-up, but when this worry becomes a phobia it\ncan become crippling and even dangerous. Check-ups are essential to keep your\nmouth and your overall health in good condition so if you regularly avoid\ngetting into the dental chair, you may inadvertently be putting your health at\nrisk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nDental Rooms<\/strong>, we are proud of the\nservices that we offer to help our most phobic patients to overcome their\nfears. Our compassionate and professional dentist in Wimbledon<\/a> will work with\nyou to help you feel more relaxed while you are in our care. We do not scoff at\ndental phobias and will aim to help you become more confident in the long-term\nwith attending check-ups and other dental procedures. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does our team manage this? Read on to find\nout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Communication is key when it comes to overcoming\nany phobia, so if you are nervous just tell us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The days of the lecturing and judgmental dental\npractitioner are long gone, and our dentist in Wimbledon<\/strong>\nwill provide a compassionate and professional approach to any issues that have.\nWe will discuss treatment options with you in jargon-free language and will put\nyou in control of the situation. Perfect<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relaxation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, so while our dentist in\nWimbledon<\/strong> cannot offer you a full body massage, we can teach you\nsome deep breathing techniques and localised stretches that are associated with\nmeditation and yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These will relax those tense muscles and allow\nyour body to feel more at ease. A more relaxed body creates a clearer mind,\nallowing you to focus on the here and now, as opposed to worrying about\nnegative experiences from your past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Distraction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the sounds of the dental surgery set off your\nanxiety (such as the noises made by a dental drill), then you are more than\nwelcome to bring in your phone or music player to listen to your favourite\nsongs via earphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have access to a virtual reality headset,\nyou are free to wear this too, just make sure you put yourself in a relaxing\nsetting in the virtual world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sedation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our team at Dental\nRooms<\/strong> is also able to offer our more nervous patients sedation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are able to offer both intravenous sedation\nand nitrous oxide, which is inhaled through a mask. These can make you feel\ngroggy so be sure to have someone accompany you to take you home afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anaesthetic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Localised anaesthetic offers the advantage of\nblocking pain, and allowing you to experience more comfortable dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have worries about discomfort following\ntreatment, simply talk to our team about undertaking anaesthesia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like most things in life, fears and phobias are often established at a young age or are learned after a particularly bad experience.
