Here is good advice from the BDA to phobic patients: Make an appointment for a time of day when you will have no other stresses. Do not book it when you know you have to be somewhere else shortly afterwards. Dr. Spiller said he particularly advises people not to schedule dental appointments during stressful times. "D0n't, for example, schedule an appointment before a major business meeting or in the middle of the day if you know you have several tasks to do after the appointment. Doing so will only heighten your dental anxiety.

If at all possible, take a friend or family member with you for reassurance. Moreover, make sure you understand any treatment you need before you commit yourself to it. Always ask the dentist to explain the procedure if you are unsure about it. And while the treatment is underway, ask your dentist to let you know what he is doing and when you are likely to feel pressure. "Surprisingly, anxiety is reduced if a patient knows exactly what to expect," Dr. Spiller explained.

It cannot be emphasized enough that dentists are in the best position to deal with dental traumas. But they must keep the patient's primary concerns in mind and perform treatment after a thorough diagnosis and explanation of all treatment options. Such procedure allows the patient the opportunity to ask questions and intelligently choose the most appropriate treatment for his dental problem.

If the dentist downplays your concerns, find another one, Dr. Siegel man is quick to advise. As far as he is concerned, a dentist can do a lot to allay the patient's fears if he is willing to provide the latter with nothing less than a "comprehensive, caring response." And patients should not settle for anything less than this. Remember, a good dentist- patient relationship and open communication are keys to overcoming dental anxiety.
