Many people are very anxious or even phobic about dental treatment. Commonly this may be a result of insensitive dental treatment as a child or picked up subconsciously from an anxious parent. There are many other reasons - everybody is different.
Dental treatment involves putting yourself in a vulnerable position whilst someone else carries out procedures in your mouth- one of the most sensitive parts of the body. If you have had a bad experience with dentistry in the past you are naturally going to be fearful of trusting someone again.
Dental habituation is about helping you to cope with dentistry in stages appropriate to you. Helping you to rebuild the trust.
You decide the treatment most appropriate to you, not the dentist.
You control the treatment, not the dentist.
You can stop a procedure at any time by raising your hand. We will stop
straight away.
