Anxiety-Free Dental Visits
Dr. Jacob Polzer explored dental anxiety in depth in his diploma thesis. Dental anxiety is not a character flaw, but a widespread phenomenon with often complex psychological, social and personal causes.
An important element in dealing with it is the feeling of control: patients who know what to expect and can give a signal at any time experience treatment very differently. In addition, for severe anxiety there is the option of treatment under twilight sedation (sedoanalgesia) – a gentle medicinal relaxation that enables anxiety-free treatment even when other measures are not sufficient.
At Smiling, we take dental anxiety seriously from the very first consultation.
