What Is Dental Anxiety and What Are the Symptoms Associated With It?

In short, dental anxiety is the fear of going to the dentist. This fear of the dental chair can affect people at any age, and it affects approximately 36% of the world’s population. While most people aren’t fond of going to dental appointments, people with severe anxiety put it off for as long as possible, causing their oral health serious harm.
This form of anxiety can lead to much bigger problems, as dental issues can lead to more serious health complications if left untreated for a long time. That’s why it’s so important to learn how to overcome this fear and go to regular dental checkups. In most cases, this fear is a result of a previous bad experience, while some times, it doesn’t have a specific cause. Either way, here are some symptoms people with this kind of mental health disorder experience:

  • Discomfort with needles, the sound of drilling, or any other kind of dental equipment
  • Panic attacks
  • Heart palpitations
  • Fainting
  • Dizziness
  • Stress
  • or extreme sweating

We Will Provide Distractions With Netflix or Music Therapy

Regular dentists try to make their patients comfortable by starting a conversation. And while some talk is good, we’ve found that full-on conversations with your dentist can be a bad distraction and even induce anxiety in some cases. Sometimes, the dentist talks too fast, too loud, or you simply don’t like the subject of the conversation, not to mention that you most likely won’t be able to answer them. 
That’s why we use methods that work and actually help – Netflix and music therapy. We can play your favorite Netflix show on the TV in front of you or play your favorite music on the speakers during the procedure, anything you’d like to ease your nerves. Feel free to tell us what will help you feel comfortable.

We Will Provide You With Noise Canceling Headphones

Sometimes, a lot of noise can make a patient panic and worsen their anxiety, which is why we always offer noise-canceling headphones. They’re also a great solution for those afraid of drilling noise or sensitive to any other noises coming from dental equipment.

Paraffin Gloves, Hot Towels, and Aromatherapy Will Make You Feel Like You're at the Spa

The best thing about our emergency dental clinic in Charlotte, NC, is the fact that we do everything we can to make you as relaxed as possible and have the entire experience seem like a trip to your favorite spa. No matter what kind of dental procedure you’re having done, our policy is that you deserve to walk out not only with a great smile but with a calm mind as well. 
We know that it’s the little things that can truly make a difference, which is why we prepare an entire wellness experience for you. We will create a cozy environment, light some candles, use aromatherapy, provide you with clean hot towels, and even give you a paraffin hand treatment during your dental appointment. That way, you will truly enjoy your visit to the dentist and turn a bad association into a great one.

Communicate Your Concerns and Feelings During the Appointment With Our Dentist in Charlotte, NC

The most important thing when it comes to any dental appointment is that you feel comfortable to talk to your dentist. During your appointment, feel free to express your feelings and concerns to your periodontist in Charlotte, NC, and ask for help and support. 
Try to explain the root of your concern, and we will do everything in our power to address it. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or scared during any point of the procedure, raise your hand or alert us in some way, and we will take a little break and adjust the treatment moving forward.

Mild to Moderate Sedation Is the Solution With Urgent Cases

Our team is aware that while aromatherapy and Netflix can help with milder cases of anxiety, sometimes it’s not enough for those who are extremely afraid and uncomfortable or have a more severe case of a mental health disorder. That’s why we offer more direct and efficient forms of therapy that always work – mild to moderate sedation. 
At Charlotte dentist in SouthPark, sedation options are available upon request. Besides anesthesia, we also offer nitrous oxide and anxiety-reducing medications. Nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative that will be given to you right before the procedure. It will completely relax you and place you into a euphoric state, reducing your anxiety and fear. 
On the other hand, if your dentist prescribes you anti-anxiety medication such as Valium (diazepam), you will be advised to take it at home approximately an hour before your scheduled appointment.
