Dental anxiety is very common, affecting about one in six adults and one in ten children in Australia, according to the Australia Research Centre for Population Oral Health in 2016. Many people feel nervous before a dental visit, but with the right support, these fears can be managed.
Symptoms of dental anxiety can include sweating, a racing heart, feeling tense, or even nausea before an appointment. If these symptoms resonate with you, it’s essential to let your dentist know.
Coping strategies include guided breathing exercises, mindfulness, and using distraction techniques like listening to music or a podcast during your appointment. At Mona Vale Dental, we incorporate essential oils and weighted blankets into appointments to help patients feel more at ease.
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by a qualified professional. It can be a great way to alleviate anxiety during procedures, allowing you to relax comfortably. However, this light sedation technique is deemed suitable on a case-by-case basis, depending on the patient’s health and the specific procedure being done.
