How to Deal with Dental Anxiety

💡 Identify Your Triggers

Is it the tools, sounds, smell, or a memory?

💨 Breathe and Relax

Try the 4-count breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold, exhale slowly. Do this before and during the visit.

🗣️ Communicate Your Fears

Tell your dentist or companion. A good dentist will adapt and reassure you.

👯 Bring a Friend

Having someone you trust nearby can ease your nerves.

🏥 Choose the Right Clinic

Look for clinics with soft lighting, calming music, or sedation options.

🚑Seek Professional Help

If it affects your life, talking to a psychologist or therapist can really help.
