If you’re scared of going to the dentist and have put it off for years, you’re not alone.
In fact, dental anxiety is really common and most of the patients we see suffer from it to some degree.
Negative or traumatic experiences with a previous dentist are what generally have brought about dental anxiety in a lot of people.
Many feel shame about their teeth, and think they’ll be judged, while others are simply not comfortable with needles or having any work done in their mouths.
Unfortunately, putting off going to the dentist worsens one’s oral health, which can in turn lead to even greater dental anxiety, Dr Adrian Kat explains.
“So often our patients have put off going to the dentist for years and it’s only when the state of their teeth starts to affect their quality of life that they come to see us.”
“For example, when they start experiencing pain, infection, bad breath, the need for constant antibiotics or painkillers, or when it starts to severely impact their work, social and family life,” he says.
