The Calming Dentist // Feeling ashamed or embarrassed about the condition of your teeth?

Feelings of shame and embarrassment are unfortunately a really common factor in dental anxiety. Such emotional feelings, that can also include guilt or inferiority, have been shown to be significant players in what is described as the vicious cycle of dental fear.

This cycle describes how dental fear or anxiety leads to avoiding dental care. The condition of the teeth then gets worse and this results in the shame, guilt and other negative feelings. These powerful feelings then compound the dental fear and the avoidance of the dentist and the resulting spiral just continues to escalate the problem.

If this sounds familiar and you’re stuck in this spiral, well you’re really the only person who can break it. How? Find a dentist who won’t judge you, won’t give lectures and book an appointment. Once you get through that door you have broken the cycle and it’s the beginning of a much more rewarding journey.
