Dental anxiety Zurich

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people with a fear of dental treatments. Usually, it is bad past experiences which build up the anxiety. No matter how you got your fear for dental treatment, we are here to help you. 

Many patients with dental phobia who have been treated by us have already become much calmer and more confident after their first treatments and are happy to come back to us. If the fear is very strong, we will make a special effort to reduce your fear of the dentist with the help of special forms of treatment. 

Dental anxiety - calm & gentle consultation

We work calmly and gently in a pleasant environment. We explain and prepare you for every step of your treatment. Whenever you feel too stressed or scared we take a break until you are ready to continue. Some days are better than others, we know that. We are here to help you; if the anxiety is overwhelming we will not proceed. You decide no matter what.  

If you are still experiencing anxiety or stress, we can offer you sedatives before the treatment. We use benzodiazepines, which mainly reduce anxiety and relax the muscles. You will be calmer, but you will not fall asleep. This is often beneficial for patients who are unable to overcome their dental anxiety.
 

Dental anxiety general anesthesia treatment 

In special cases we treat you under general anesthesia. This is sometimes necessary for patients who are about to undergo a painful treatment. During a general anesthetic, the body will go through several phases, which is normally not a problem for a healthy person. Nevertheless, there are always risks associated with general anesthesia that should be considered. We at ZahnCity Zurich therefore primarily recommend sedatives instead of general anesthesia. 

It is of great importance to us that you feel comfortable with us, because only then can we offer you the best possible treatment.
