Fear
What ever the reason may be,
many people find the dentist to be a very scary place to
go.
Easing Your Anxiety
Dr. Jenny Miller, a dentist from Lexington, Kentucky, complied these self tips to help you calm your nerves next time you make your dental appointment.
Some of the greatest fears we have are ones
we imagine in our heads. Remembering to take deep breaths will help keep your
heart rate down and to stay calm.
Take a Deep Breath1
Use Hand Signals
People are often uncomfortable when they
are not able to communicate with their dentist while their mouth is open. Using hand
signals is a great way to communicate with your
dentist if you are feeling any signs of pain or discomfort.

Distract Yourself
Bringing headphones or a music player is a
great way help distract your mind and put your
attention elsewhere.

Discuss Issues With Your Dentist Beforehand
Your dentist will only know your fears and concerns if you make them aware. Discuss any issues you may have beforehand so that your dentist can
properly address them.
