Cure Your Dental Phobia With Us Forever Today !

We here are the leading site in helping you understand that the fear of dentists first of all is far from uncommon with a UK study recently revealing that as much as 53% of us suffer from some type of phobia or anxiety at the thought of our regular check ups or a more substantial treatment like tooth removal.

We will lay out the five main things to be aware of when it comes to the road to freedom from fear. From possible symptoms of dental phobia to how is the best way to go about vanquishing them to ways we can provide support and advice so you know (regardless of your partner and friends who may not fully appreciate the severity of such a phobia) YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

First the symptoms that you may suffer from to varying levels of seriousness Symptoms:

  • Anxiety
  • Nausea and dry mouth
  • Lack of sleep before appointment
  • Elevated blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Heart racing (tachycardia)
  • Feeling of suffocation
  • Fainting/ lightheadedness

Now all of these symptoms may not apply and will vary on gravity depending on each person but it’s very important to remember these are normal for sufferers of dental phobia and you must stay calm, practice breathing slowly through the nose and stay relaxed. It can easily become a vicious circle if you tense up and that adds to the nerves and vice versa.

Now the very possible consequences of not receiving dental treatment:

  • Teeth discolouration and plaque build up
  • Painful toothache
  • Tooth removal
  • Dreaded bad breath (halitosis)

Of course we understand here at dentalphobia.co.uk it’s easier said than done just getting up and going to the mad drilling dentist (my personal image as a terrified 8 year old(he was actually a really nice guy by the way haha)) but I know from experience, that after carrying my fear through to adulthood and letting a very bad infection linger in one of my teeth that led to incredible pain, the consequences of letting the phobias symptoms preventing me from seeing the lovely old driller(sorry, bad habit!)
