How to relax in the dentists chair by Tony Forster

Try exercising your brain - Don't just sit in the dentists chair thinking about

nothing or worse still imagining what might happen but use the time effectively

by thinking about something that will tax your brain. Why not have brain puzzle

already prepared or perhaps you'd prefer to think about planning your next

holiday or a home improvement. Whatever you do make sure you have something to

occupy your mind other than what is going on...

3. You are in control -

It is important that you let your dentists know how you will signal that you

want them to stop now because you need a break before the dental treatment can

start again. The mere fact that you can now control the situation often helps

reduce anxiety and makes the treatment more bearable.

4. Music can help

- A personal stereo that allows you to play your own choice of music or a

talking book can help distract your mind and hide the sound of

treatment.

5. Hypnosis and relaxation - Perhaps your dentists offer

these techniques which are a little like day dreaming, these techniques allow

you to gain control over your feelings of distress, panic or fear, if your

dentist doesn't offer these services they will most likely be able to suggest

somebody suitable.

Most importantly speak to your dentist and explain

any fears and concerns you may have about your treatment, a good dentist will

be able to empathize with your feelings and by carefully explaining what they

are about to do and how, it will go a long way to resolving your issues without

the need for any other technique, you may even find yourself looking forward to

next visit???
