When it comes to dental anxiety, I think the general public, just because of the history of dentistry, has generated an idea that dentistry should be…it is a scary thing and it’s never going to be comfortable. I’ve made an entire career of crusading against dental anxiety. I picture myself as being an advocate for a dental practice that does not create or add to the narrative of dental anxiety.
I mean, it’s at the core of every thought, every word I choose to use when I’m speaking to someone. Dental anxiety stems from just a lack of knowledge, misconceptions, and tons of unnecessary social media that people subject themselves to before they come here. Nowadays, the battle gets even harder nowadays, but it doesn’t have to be an anxiety-inducing experience.
And I’m living proof. My patients are living proof. We’ve tackled all levels of anxiety and not everybody has to have a pill to reduce that level of anxiousness. If you choose to engage with me on a journey to get well, I think you’re going to find that the anxiety starts to become a nice flat road.
It looks a little rosy even at times. Everything we do from the way we listen to the way we speak to the way we put our hands on a patient to help them is done in a purposeful way with anxiety reduction first. And it works.
