How to overcome the fear of going to the dentist?

Many patients tell me when they come to see me that they are afraid of coming to the dentist. They really put it off again and again, and if the pain wasn’t so bad this time that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they wouldn’t have come. I believe that many dentists encounter this all the time. Therefore, as a specialist, not only to actively look after oral diseases, but also to do a good job of psychological counseling of patients, to help patients overcome the fear of psychology, so that patients know and understand the dental treatment process, to achieve pain-free and efficient, painful to come, happy to go. So as an oral surgeon how to do this? First, analyze the reasons: some patients actually come to see the dentist for the first time, there is no so-called painful experience of seeing dental disease, his feelings are heard from family, friends, neighbors and other people, so very afraid; there are also patients who have seen dental disease in his place, due to the receiving doctor’s service attitude or medical level is really not in place, aggravating the patient’s pain feelings, leaving patients with painful memories; there are also dentistry unique Some instruments, and the sharp sound of treatment also aggravate the patient’s fear. Second, the response: patients to the clinic, doctors try to do amiable, close the distance, eliminate the unfamiliarity with the patient, so that the patient relaxed; detailed description of the treatment ideas and processes, patients have a good idea, reduce doubt; to do painless operation, to avoid increasing the patient’s pain; treatment of children patients, delicate voice, gentle operation, the environment is warmly arranged, and parental communication, praise for children is also very important.
