Most people are afraid to sit in a dentist’s chair and the thought of dental extractions terrifies them even more. A possible reason could be that these fears begin during childhood visits to the dentist and remain until adulthood. There are people who are so afraid of handling what they think will be a painful extraction that they delay going to the dentist, with severe consequences.
A dentist in Leeds takes a great amount of effort to ensure that this process is done with the minimum discomfort to patients, since this is obviously something that troubles a lot of people. To begin with, the dentist’s office needs to have a welcoming ambience. This, in place of a forbidding look, with make people feel more at ease. The use of beautiful colours, potted plants, fish tanks and piped music can all dispel fears to a large extent.
If you are due to go for a dental extraction, or you have to take your child there for the same reason, make sure that the dentist explains the whole process out in detail so that you know that there is a clear cut method being followed. You should request for aesthetic creams that will numb the pain of an injection, so that there will be no physical pain at all. The correct use of anaesthetics will ensure that the patient feels the tooth being removed, but will not have any pain.
One such good experience is usually enough to cure a patient’s fear of dental treatments such as extractions.
