Nervous Patients

Being anxious about dental visits is very common. It is estimated that 1 in 10 people avoids seeing the dentist because of apprehension and fear. In extreme cases, some people might develop a phobia which means they may put off routine care for years and sometimes decades. They might put up with gum infections, broken and unsightly teeth or even long term pain. This creates a higher risk of gum disease and early tooth loss. There may be emotional costs as well. Discoloured or broken teeth can mean people may smile less or keep their mouths partly closed when speaking. Some people become so embarrassed that their professional and personal lives begin to suffer. It can result in a serious loss of self- esteem.

Additionally, dental phobias may also cause poorer general health and possibly even lower life expectancy. It has been found that poor oral health is associated with some life-threatening conditions, such as heart disease and lung infections.

At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we understand your fears and anxiety. All of our team members were recruited because of their friendly and very caring nature. From our reception to our dental care team, we can reassure you and help you to overcome these anxieties. All of your questions can be answered before treatment begins and our modern methods of treatment can mean there can be no pain for you to worry about.
