Emotional dentistry

 


Emotional dentistry, also known as dental anxiety management, focuses on addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of dental care. It involves creating a supportive and empathetic environment to help patients manage anxiety and fear associated with dental procedures. Techniques may include relaxation methods, communication skills, and even sedation options to ensure a more positive and comfortable dental experience for individuals with dental phobia or anxiety.

Managing patients' emotions during dental treatment involves fostering a supportive atmosphere and explain procedures beforehand to alleviate anxiety. Encourage patients to express their feelings and establish signals for breaks if needed. Utilize relaxation techniques or distractions during treatment. Building trust through empathetic communication helps create a more positive emotional experience for patients undergoing dental procedures.

 We at Smile dental clinic practice with the ultimate goal of building our patient’s trust through an effective communication. We not only focus on the teeth and gums of our patients but also work with their emotions.

Importance of practicing emotional dentistry;

We believe that the patient should be aware of his dental   hygiene by adopting certain self-care habits like brushing and flossing. We at smile dental clinic aim at encouraging the patient to take a  responsibility towards improving his oral health rather than just being dependent on the dentist. It is very important to us that our patients take a keen interest in their dental and overall health and we plan on doing so by making him fully aware of his oral condition so as to help him make informed choices.

Smile dental aim at designing a dental plan together with you that helps you to look and feel the way you have always wanted. Whether it concerns the color, shape or position of your teeth, Dr. Fouzia and her team are happy to help.
