How to survive the trip to the dentist

Afraid of the dentist - it is not modern. Long gone are the days when these doctors are torturers. Today, they are perhaps the most beautiful and lovely (after all, the competition in this area is very high). Should be afraid unless the amount in check. And it only grows with each delayed going to the hospital. Therefore, if the time has come, assign reception. A day earlier, review our tips to make the treatment more comfortable.

1. Find a dentist you can trust

The physician should choose almost like a wife. And then everyone has his own criteria: appearance, tone of voice, playful, or, on the contrary, a rigorous approach. Ideally, you should be almost in love with your dentist, then reception will wait at the rendezvous. If you have not yet found his "single", do not take the time - go to a consultation with several doctors to find the best.

2. Assign a reception in the first half of the day

To do this, there are at least two reasons. Firstly, you do not get tired, your nervous system will be more balanced, than after a hard day, but still waiting for treatment. The pain will be felt less (anesthesia works better on those who calm).

Secondly, the evening tired and dentist. Attention, concentration and visual acuity had not supernatural - better until he is full of strength. Therefore met until you are both more cheerful.

3. On the eve try to have a good rest

The better you sleep enough, so it will be more balanced, and therefore, the treatment will take a more relaxed and less painful. So do not plan on the evening before receiving the emotional lessons. It is better to walk or read to accurately sleep early.

But do not try to help the alcohol itself! It can weaken the effect of anesthesia.

4. Girls are not necessary to treat the teeth in the critical days

Despite the fact that every woman has their distribution emotions by day cycle, the risk of a more prolonged bleeding and other complications during menstruation above. Therefore, if the situation is not urgent, it is better to schedule a visit to the dentist on the second or third week of the cycle.

5. Prepare questions

Dentist - this is not a man with a terrible instrument in his hands, and above all qualified.

You probably can find questions about dental care and the rules of nutrition for healthy teeth. Write them down, because of the excitement your memory can be pumped up when you're already in the clinic. Ask them how to sit in a chair. The conversation will help relieve the tension and reduce your anxiety.

6. Do not come too soon

Absolutely no need to wait for their turn in the corridor of the hospital. It can strengthen anxiety. Even if you arrive earlier, it is better to walk around or to meditate while sitting in the car. And to fill the basic medical forms you will most likely be less than five minutes. The rest will be able to fill in after the procedure.

7. Try to isolate problems

Among dentists, as well as in any other profession, there are charlatans who for your money "sawed" to you though every tooth. Define at least roughly where you have a concern (left or right, top or bottom).

Try to chew something sweet (for example, a candy or sweet bun). Please note does not respond there any grudge against hot or cold.

These methods, of course, does not guarantee the absolute diagnosis. However, if you are in doubt of the need to drill something, it is better to begin to consult elsewhere. The same applies to the situation when the tooth is bothering you, and the doctor can not find anything - go to another.

8. Treat yourself for bravery

After reception, when the effect of anesthesia slightly weakened (usually only a couple of hours), do something particularly pleasing to themselves. Reward yourself "candy" after each trip to the dentist, to develop a positive reflex. Then go for a visit every six months is not difficult.

9. Specialized Council in case the fear is not overcome

In fact, if the fear of the dentist comes to panic, you do not need to perform the feat. Help may be soothing. However, it's not about valerian and Leonurus, and of potent drugs that have to sell prescription. If you can not even overcome panic, you can refer both to the dentist (only advice, while no treatment), and to a therapist who can prescribe appropriate for you medicines.

Of course, you should be sure to inform your dentist about the reception of these drugs! Since they typically interact synergistically with anesthetic, and the dosage should be calculated differently.
