How to actually proceed if we have fear of dental treatment ?
For some patients, even a detailed consultation and clarification by the doctor are adequate therapy. If you feel cared for, you are given the opportunity to ask the questions that interest you and your doctor spends the needed time, you will be much more comfortable when proceed with the planned dental treatment.
"In our everyday conversations we strive to provide patients the sufficient information prior to treatment" says Dr. Alexander Klochkov. For many patients, it is important to adjust their mind that the treatment would be benefit for them so they lose their fear. With other patients, it is the opposite: They want to know as little as possible, because otherwise their fear increases." In the conversation with the patient it is very important to understand exactly what he is afraid," explains Dr. Alexander Klochkov. "Only then, as doctors, we can address him accordingly and help him overcome his fear." Although some dental practices are with hypnosis, the patient can be prepared for dental care with the help of other professionals also. Behavioral therapy, for example, is a relatively lengthy process. Within a few sessions the patient learns to wean from the learned behavior of the parties. It is necessary to conduct the treatment by specialists in the field of behavioral therapy as a dentist can not alone deal with it.
There are numerous yoga or autogenic training, which offer the patient a kind of self-knowledge to help. The uptake of breathing exercises and techniques to manage stress the patient could apply when it is confronted with a specific dental treatment. "In any case, the patient should inform its doctor about its fears," recommends Dr. Alexander Klochkov. "Then the doctor is aware of the situation and can respond appropriately during treatment." Another possibility to overcome dentophobia is using of anesthetics. As a rule, in medical practice, general anesthesia is administered, but is accompanied by extreme stresses to the body.
Alternative anesthetic is intravenous anesthesia.
It is as effective as general anesthesia, but does not burden the body in such a large extent. It does not "preclude" the body, as is the case with general anesthesia but just carries it in sleep state. The patient does not perceive anything from ongoing treatment but can respond to the instructions of the doctor without remembers later.
"For our patients, this is the optimal opportunity to feel relaxed during treatment," said Dr. Alexander Klochkov. "We use total intravenous anesthesia for years and so far we have only positive feedback from our patients. "
