Dental Phobia Or Dental Anxiety

Lots and lots of patients suffer from a fear of the dentist. If you have a dental phobia or dental anxiety, do not worry, you are not alone.

If you are nervous about dental treatments then please do tell us. We understand that people are reluctant to visit dentists either out of a fear of pain or needles or just general dental anxiety. Some people are so scared to go to the dentist that they avoid at all costs but this only leads to future dental problems.

At Rock House Dental Practice, our team is sympathetic to these feelings and will do absolutely everything in our power to help you overcome your dental phobia.

Often these worries disappear when you talk the treatment through in detail with your dentist. Our team is always willing to take the time to explain procedures to you in detail and go at your pace. After all, everyone is different, hence, our treatments are bespoke and tailored just for you.

How does relaxation work?

When faced with a challenge or something we're afraid of, such as a visit to the dentist, our bodies produce substances, which raise our anxiety. However, we can train our bodies to work against this anxiety, by learning to relax. It's not possible to be anxious and relaxed at the same time, so learning relaxation helps control our anxiety and overcome your dental phobia.
