REDUCE DENTISTRY RELATED ANXIETY : LAKE LANIER SMILES BUFORD



We at Lake Lanier Smiles understand that patients experience anxiety going to the dentist, and it is a normal reaction. We like to explain in this blog on how you can overcome this fear by educating patients and means to overcome fear of a dental visit.

REASONS FOR DENTISTRY RELATED ANXIETY
Some of the main causes of dental anxiety are fear of pain, needles, drills, gagging, helplessness or not in control, feeling embarrassed about teeth condition and expensive treatment.

HOW CAN LAKE LANIER SMILES HELP?
Doctors and staff at Lake Lanier Smiles are well trained to help you understand what you can expect before, after and during the appointment.
The staff and doctors talk you through the procedure and encourage you to ask questions. So please feel free to ask any questions. 

We offer soothing music through our ceiling speaker system.

Always the patient is in full control in the dental chair and the dentists listen carefully to any of your requests. 

ADVISE ON HOW TO RELAX
Please avoid any caffeinated or sugary drinks before the appointment as they are known to increase anxiety.

Always ask questions or express any concerns before you come to the appointment.

When you are in the reception room, try to distract yourself by watching TV, listening to music, browsing magazines or talking to our friendly staff.

Always make an appointment convenient for you so that you don't feel rushed to the appointment.

We encourage talking to the dentist during the treatment so that all the questions can be answered and put you at ease.

During the treatment, do not hold your breath for long intervals because it can decrease oxygen levels and which in turn increses anxiety

We advise you to concentrate on breathing. In and out steadily.
