Fear of the Dentist

FEAR OF THE DENTIST

Fear has an important role in our lives. Fear is a kind of protective reflex that we have to show.

WHAT DOES THE FEAR OF THE DENTIST MAKE US DO?

It causes us to walk around with constant toothache. This toothache or bad looking teeth, which also affect our daily lives, cause loss of self-confidence. Not being able to go to the dentist unless necessary and postponing appointments increase dental problems.

WHO IS MOST AFRAID OF THE DENTIST?

According to the research, the level of fear is higher in male patients than in female patients because men are not used to having their face areas handled. Our 50 cm distance is our private area. We only allow special people like our mothers, fathers, children and spouses into this private area. For this reason, women receive support from other people in cosmetic care, while men do not have this contact with other people, so the dentist entering this area will be scary for them. In addition, the female body experiences regular menstruation every month. This makes the female body more durable.

HOW CAN I OVERCOME MY FEAR OF THE DENTIST?

Identify the reason for your fear of the dentist. What is causing you to have this fear:

• Is the treatment to be performed over a long period of time?
• Will piercing tools penetrate your mouth?
• Are you afraid that you might suddenly get hurt because your sense of touch is so intense?
• The sounds of instruments?
• Is it the smell of the environment? (Like the smell of medicine)
