Stepping through the door of the treatment room at the dental clinic can instil fear and dread in a patient. As soon as they open their mouths to grant the dentist a closer look inside the mouth, the expectation of some dreadful news or a scary procedure looms large.

A check-up performed by our dentist in Sydney CBD doesn’t necessarily have to spell doom. We aim to provide ALL of our patients with a pleasant, relaxing experience. At *Spa Dental Sydney CBD, we find that how relaxed a dental visit is, is often in the patient’s control.

Don’t let the dread of bad news prevent you from scheduling a check-up. It is unfortunate that some patients prefer the head-in-the-sand technique when it comes to their dental health. It is good to remember that many issues can be successfully treated if proper dental care is sought as soon as possible.

Seeing that numerous dental issues are progressive in nature, avoiding the dentist in Sydney CBD can result in undue pain and additional treatments than if treated earlier. We urge patients to take a proactive approach to their oral health. Visit us regularly to keep on top of dental health and become more relaxed seeing the dentist over time.

Tips to make a dental visit more comfortable

Patient comfort is at the heart of our dental treatments. We urge patients to find ways to relax that they find helpful for them. If you need help, just ask us. Some of our patients have found the following techniques particularly useful in reducing anxiety when visiting our dental clinic.

  1. Dress comfortably

Patients often forget that the first thing they need to do in order to feel relaxed is to wear comfortable clothing on a visit to our dentist in Sydney CBD.

  •  Use a stress-relieving tool

We are often surprised by the innovative ways our patients use to limit stress and anxiety. There are many different stress-reducing tools available that can keep a patient’s mind less focused on what the dental practitioner is doing. A stress ball can be of great benefit, giving hands something to do. Listening to calming music is another favourite technique of many patients.

  • Breathing deeply promotes relaxation

Taking deep, controlled breaths is one of the simplest techniques that works wonderfully well in calming patients. Don’t forget, we’ll do all we can to help you relax and feel more comfortable.

  • Try to schedule dental appointments earlier in the day

Dental anxiety can build throughout the day if appointments are scheduled for later in the day. Other daily stresses can also then amplify and add to a patient’s stress levels.
