Overcome Dental Phobia With This Genius 3D Solution and 8 Top Tips to Dentist Confidence

GRAVESEND, U.K. - April 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Dental phobia also called dentophobia, dentist phobia, dental anxiety or odontophobia, refers to the fear of dentistry and of receiving dental treatment and is a very common condition around the world. Dental fear is usually attributed to a number of factors - traditionally the noise, the expected pain and the unusual smells. The panicky feeling before an appointment often escalates mentally, and this is the key when treating a nervous patient.

Distracting the brain from focussing on the negative side of a visit to the dentist can be achieved easily and with immediate effect by the simple use of sensory input. Patients report that just looking at the tools, or into the dentist's eyes make them feel uncomfortable, so presenting the patient with an enjoyable sensation to detract from their surroundings is of great benefit.

One dentist based in Gravesend, Kent has demonstrated a huge increase in allaying the fears of their patients by implementing modern technology in their surgery.

Parrock Street Dental Surgery have bought in the latest DVD players with a huge library of movies for their customers to choose from. By wearing 3D glasses effectively diffuses the negative thought process, as the brain is alternately positively stimulated by the sounds of the DVD and by the 3D effect of the glasses on the optical nerve.

There's so much input both aurally and visually, the sensation of negativity is drastically reduced, so even the most traditionally feared dental surgery thoughts are drowned out by the sensory input of the movie playing along, and concentration is primarily focussed on the interest of the DVD.

Watching a DVD through glasses whilst having a root canal treatment and same day Cerec crown treatment made it less stressful and a very enjoyable experience for one patient.

The Parrock Street Dental patient confirmed "I am very happy at this practice and would highly recommend it to everyone"

8 Top Tips To Ease Dental Fear
If you’re feeling apprehensive and afraid about visiting the dentist or having dental surgery, here are some good tips to ease the fear:

Visit in person to book your first appointment, or if this step is too big, call the surgery and tell the receptionist you are feeling nervous, maybe even pop over to the surgery to have a walk round without an appointment to get the feel of the property, experience the smells and see how modern and welcoming a dentist can be.

Specifically choose a morning appointment early in the day so you have less time to overthink and more time to enjoy the rest of the day

Be reassured that on a check-up there’s no need to worry that you’ll be expected to to agree to having a filling, the drill or a needle for example. See this first visit as an opportunity get to know the dentist and ask questions.

Invite a friend or relative to accompany you to your appointment. The dentist will be very accepting if you are accompanied for a check-up or treatment.

Signal during treatment that you need a break and a little pause. Agree with your dentist beforehand which signal is best to use. It can be as simple as raising one hand, and will definitely help you feel in control.

Some people like to start gradually. perhaps with a clean and polish then work up to other treatments like a filling once you’ve built up trust and a good relationship with your dentist.

Load a new playlist of relaxing music onto your MP3 player in advance, listening to music during your visit will help you relax.
