Dental Anxiety
DAVINCI
Dental anxiety sometimes referred to as dental phobia, is a fear and dread of visiting the dentist for any type of treatment. It occurs when people feel helpless in the midst of an uncomfortable or even painful experience. The feeling can be so intense that it keeps some individuals away from their regular dental appointments.
This form of anxiety is more than just a feeling: it’s an emotional and physical reaction to the thought of undergoing some type of dental procedure. Overcoming dental anxiety requires open communication between anxious patients and dentists, along with techniques aimed at reducing anxious feelings, such as deep breathing techniques or preoperative sedation if necessary.
It’s also essential that we recognise how detrimental avoiding necessary treatments can be to our oral health. That’s why we strive to provide a calming and nurturing environment for our patients at DaVinci Smiles. Our experienced professional team is fully committed to creating an atmosphere of trust and respect, allowing us to take a holistic approach to helping you achieve your long-term oral health goals. If you’re looking for an anxiety-free dental experience, DaVinci Smiles is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Anxiety
What are the signs and symptoms that I have dental anxiety?

- Increased blood pressure
- Shallow breathing,
- Rapid heart rate
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Visible distress (crying or signs of panic)
- Difficulty in speaking and expressing concerns to your dentist
How do I stay calm at the dentist's office?
Communicate with your dentist openly about your fears and concerns. This will allow them to develop a plan for making your visit as stress-free as possible. Together, you can come up with distraction techniques, such as listening to calming music or using breathing techniques, that may help you relax during treatment.
What are the risks of having dental anxiety during a dental appointment?
The risks associated with having dental anxiety during a dental appointment include an increased risk of developing cavities and other forms of tooth decay, gum disease, plaque buildup, root canal infection, tooth loss, and many other complications caused by poor oral hygiene. Although these dental health issues may seem minor at first glance, they will eventually become more serious if neglected.
Can dental anxiety be prevented?
Different approaches work for different individuals, but managing dental anxiety can be achieved through psychotherapy, medication treatment, or a combination of both. Book a consultation with DaVinci Smiles, and you can discuss your dental anxiety with our experienced dental team.
