Sleep Dentistry Practice in Launceston Tasmania Helps Patients Avoid Dental Anxiety
Dental Implants Tasmania, a dental practice based in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, is pleased to announce they are offering sleep dentistry that can help patients avoid dental anxiety, which is often a cause of people avoiding dental procedures, such as having dental implants. Dental clinics are now finding ways to help ease the anxiety of patients by providing an environment that can help patients calm down before the treatment. In addition, dental practices like Dental Implants Tasmania are also considering pain relief and anesthesia options to help patients ease their anxiety. They are helping patients overcome their dental anxiety when needing to undergo advanced dental treatments, such as dental implants and All on 4 implants.
Dr Bing Lee from Dental Implants Tasmania says, “It’s normal for people to feel anxious about having dental implants. If you have a fear of being in pain, having injections or feeling vulnerable in the dentist’s chair, you’re most certainly not alone. Unfortunately, lots of people let that fear impact their oral health. Meanwhile, without doing anything to confront your fear, the thought of going to the dentist can get even worse. Fortunately, your anxiety shouldn’t have to stand in the way of you having advanced dental treatments. That’s why, at Dental Implants Tasmania, we understand how nervous our patients can be and do everything we can to put your mind at ease.”
There are a number of reasons why patients often feel anxious about the dental treatment. First of all, there is the fear of pain, which is natural. Nobody likes pain, which is why they often ensure patients the treatment is pain-free. Second, injections can make people anxious about dental injections or injections in general. Fortunately, they have tools and strategies for helping patient stay calm. Third, patients may feel lying in a chair with mouth open as a vulnerable position. They can also help patients feel calm about the situation. Finally, patients may feel some embarrassment, feeling conscious about their teeth, which they have encountered frequently and can help make the patient feel more comfortable.
They offer a number of tips to help patients feel more relaxed. The first tip is to talk with them about feeling anxious about the visit or procedure. As soon as they are aware of what is making the patient feel nervous, they can begin working on ways to assist the patient in adapting to the treatment as necessary. Second, they suggest that patients visit them for a consultation before any treatment. This allows the patient to get to know them better, including the practice and the dentist. It is less scary when visiting the practice with people they are familiar with.
Third, patients can try listening to the dentist as they explain what they will be doing during the procedure. Fourth, patients can try distracting themselves. They may help by playing some music or turning on the TV. Fifth, they can arrange for hand signals to indicate to them if the patient wants to take a break and then continue once the patient feels more in control. Finally, it may help to choose a meal that is high in protein before the visit to the dentist. Avoiding sugar-filled foods and those with caffeine may be advisable because they can make the person feel more nervous. Instead, chamomile tea, eggs, avocados, and almonds may be recommended.
Dental Implants Tasmania, which is a part of the Innova Dental practice, was launched by Dr. Bing Lee and his wife, Dr. Fay Chan. It is their goal to offer the most up-to-date restorative dental procedures in Launceston and all throughout the Tasmanian community.
