DENTISTS’ PHOBIA & TOOTHACHE

Please do not let your fear of the dentist keep you from a necessary visit to the dentist, nor do you feel ashamed because of your possibly neglected teeth. We welcome you!

We offer treatment concepts that are tailored to your needs.

 

We are not here to judge or condemn you, but to help you because we respect you for your courage. We, the entire Zahnarztpraxis Uetikon am See team, admire that you have come to us and you will encounter nothing but understanding and empathy - we can promise you that!

 

Patients who are afraid of the dentist face specialchallenges. We do everything in our power to provide you with professional dental treatment you need and want. Please inform us directly when making an appointment that you are an anxious patient. This allows us to take the time for a detailed consultation to determine how we can best assist you.

 

In order to take this step, anxious patients need a lot of support from a sensitive dentist and practice staff. A further fear of the dentist can be "unlearned" through gentle treatment options and good aftercare.

We make every effort to support you in gaining confidence and learn to have a relaxed oral exam and / or treatment.

 

The individual patients’ consultation:

During a preliminary information session in a calm atmosphere, if you wish, even without an oral examination, you can describe me about your concerns and familiarize yourself with our dental practice Zahnarztpraxis Uetikon am See and our team.

We can provide you with information about the most gentle and very good treatment options possible. And so often a detailed discussion beforehand can already contribute to alleviate a dentists’ phobia.

 

Causes of a dentist phobia:

Bad experience (even as a child) at the dentist, increased sensitivity to pain, discomfort at the thought of having a “stranger” invade your personal space, or simply worrying about the treatments

You might be subjected to in the dentist's chair, shouldn't keep your teeth away from maintenance and to have necessary treatments carried out. Neglecting your dental health can - and mostly will - have serious consequences for your oral health and possibly your general health.

 

Well informed, pain free, relaxed:

The fear of not knowing what is happening to you in the dentist's chair is met with generally understandable explanations before and during treatment. It is very important to me that you understand why and how certain treatment procedures are carried out so that you can recognize what is going on and what to expect.

 

Fear patients and LASER treatment:

My interest lies in enabling you to have a pain-free and fear-free dental treatment.

Treatment with a dental LASER offers, above all, patients with dentist-phobia safety and comfort. The LASER works without contact (contact-free), is extremely precise, low in pain perception or even painless. In addition, any pain that may occur after treatment is less compared to traditional treatment methods. Anesthesia is often not necessary and the wound healing is less complicated.

Fear patients often feel more comfortable and safer during dental treatment with the LASER than with non-LASER treatment. In addition, there is no noise or vibrations from the drill.

 

Fear patients and sedation:

We know that anxious patients need time to gain confidence and are ashamed of having poor dental and oral health. As so often assumed by the patient, the supposedly serious condition is not that great and the scope of treatment and the procedure are much less stressful than assumed.

According to your needs, we will design an individual treatment concept for you and can treat you under local anesthesia, light sedation, or general anesthesia.

 

We make it possible for you to leave our Zahnarztpraxis Uetikon am See with a smile and be happy to come with pleasure back to us.
