FEARLESS DENTISTRY

Most patients have fear of the unknown and of what they cannot understand. It is possible to overcome this with correct patient-physician communication. It is necessary to allocate more time to a patient, to listen and understand patient expectations and what does one exactly want. Understanding positively contributes to the elimination of dentist fear in the patient. In addition, it is an indisputable fact that the results of the operations planned and carried out with correct communication will be satisfactory.

In addition, it is necessary to use technological methods in order to avoid pain, pressure sensation in the tooth and to reduce the risk of complications after the procedure.

The treatment of decayed teeth is an important cause of fear for many people. The level of pain can be reduced by ninety percent without even anesthesia in the caries removal process with laser.

Complications such as swelling and pain that may occur after surgical procedures performed with laser, are also at minimum level.

Classical anesthesia applications also cause the fear of dentists in patients with needle phobia. However, technological anesthesia techniques also contribute to getting rid of dentist fear. With the navigation (computerized) anesthesia systems, anesthesia can be performed without a feeling of pressure, painless and only anesthetizing the operation area for a short time.
