Q. I have always had a fear of the dentist since I was young. I must have had a traumatic experiene or something. However, I worry that my fear will stop me from getting any serious dental problems dealt with, and that this will give me a horrible smile. Do you have any advice as to how I can overcome my anxiety?
A.
My advice is to see your dentist often when there aren’t any problems. This way your dental visits can be fun, uneventful and with good news of healthy teeth at the end of the visit. Once you become accustomed to easy dental visits you will find that there isn’t anything to fear. Preventive dentistry is the best way to avoid a fearful situation. Communicate with your dentist and let him know how you feel. This way they can use a little extra TLC.
