Anyone who at least once visited the dentist and had bad experience, will have fear of the dentist all his life. Also, only few people started visiting dentist for preventive exams from their childhood. Those people who are used to visiting their dentist for preventive exams and thus avoid any small or great tooth decaying, cannot have any bad experience at the dentist`s.
So, the best way for preventing fear of dentist is to visit your dentist regularly and prevent occurrence of any dental disease. In case that any dental disease develops, be aware that you have to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist will be your saver. Unless you fix the dental problem immediately, it can get only worse during the time.
Dental examinations and interventions
Do not delay your visit to the dentist if you have any dental problems. Be aware that the dentist will save your tooth and your health. Dental examinations and interventions are painless, because the dentist will give you local anesthesia. Eventhough you feel no pain, you still may have some unpleasant feelings. Try to think about nice things and thus overcome the unpleasant feelings. It is also very important to have caring and careful dentist who will stop the intervention if notices that you cannot stand it any longer.
The dentist will talk to you, calm you down and assure you that the intervention will be painless and quicker than you expected. If you have not created the habit of visiting the dentist for preventive exams, eventhough you do not have any problems with your teeth, you will surely start with that practice after the first time you have dental problem. There are some people who feel stressed every time when they visit the dentis. In such a case, it is necessary to ask the dentist for advice about using herbal sedatives which will calm you down during intervention.
