Dental phobia is a form of anxiety disorder that causes patients to feel extremely worried and fearful about visiting the dentist or receiving dental treatment. This condition is more common than you might think, and can lead to serious dental health problems if left untreated. Dental phobia can develop due to numerous reasons, including previous bad experiences, fear of pain or needles, or even just a general feeling of vulnerability. Patients with dental phobia often avoid going to the dentist altogether, which puts their oral health at risk. This can lead to more serious and extensive dental procedures down the line, making the experience even more traumatic for the patient. Our approach at Great White Dental allows us to successfully treat patients with dental phobia, in some cases, sedation dentistry may be our best tool for these patients.
We understand that some patients have a severe gag reflex, which can make dental treatment a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable experience. A severe gag reflex is an involuntary reaction that causes contraction of the throat muscles, leading to difficulty in breathing and swallowing. This can make simple dental procedures, such as taking dental impressions, a challenging task.
It’s important to consider patients with severe gag reflex because it can impact their overall oral health. Patients may avoid visiting the dentist altogether, resulting in untreated dental issues that can lead to more significant problems down the road. Furthermore, dental anxiety can be increased due to fear of experiencing discomfort or embarrassment during treatment, which can negatively impact a patient’s dental and overall health.
To ensure our patients receive the best possible care, we have developed strategies to make dental treatment more comfortable and approachable for those with a severe gag reflex. Our team is trained to work with patients to establish various coping mechanisms, such as meditation or conscious breathing, to alleviate anxiety and decrease the likelihood of gagging. We also offer sedation dentistry to help patients feel more at ease during treatment.
