Why so many people, from the smallest child to the more muscular weight lifter, male fear of the dentist? Dental treatment can make our patients feel and look better, and can help achieve good health. Although modern dentistry has progressed to the point where the methods and procedures used can be an experience of pain, fear the dentist can still cause patients to avoid the normal or emergency dental care.
Unfortunately, there is still something about the dental experience, be as obvious as the high whining sound and vibration acute air turbine-driven handpiece (drill), the aroma and taste of medicines and dental materials, the view of the instruments, the thought or the pinch of the needle and the strange sensation of numbness in lips and tongue, or as complex as shame for the state of your teeth or feelings of powerlessness and loss of control, which can cause negative emotional response, fear, or even severe dental phobias.
All dentists can refer to the discussions in parts which include, “I love you, you’re a great guy. But I hate dentists.” Or the people who open their mouths at parties and show their teeth. Each of them has a dental horror story, and “grin and bear it” while listening respectfully to all.
Unfortunately, portraits, adding to their own personal experiences and the experiences of friends and family dentists are negative and negative images of dental treatment in the media and art, especially cinema. Historically, movies have not represented the dentist or dental treatment in the most positive light. After all, what dentist has not been said about the graphic torture scene in the movie “Marathon Man”, in which the former SS dentist Szell, “White Angel” of Auschwitz, played by Laurence Olivier, perforated in the teeth of their restricted patient, Thomas “Babe” Levy, played by Dustin Hoffman, without anesthesia while repeating one of the biggest Hollywood events, the phrase “Is it safe?”
Today, “is safe” for patients going to the dentist. Dentists play an important role in the cause and the solution of dental fears and phobias. Fortunately, the people, most of them are qualified and dedicated who have educated themselves and their patients about the multitude of anxiety and pain reduction success of the methods available today. This can create a positive, sensitive and gentle dental experiences. Today is the exception not the rule, fear of the dentist.
