Dental Fear

Unfortunately there are a lot of people with dental fear. Normally it is experiences in the past which build up the high anxiety. No matter what or how you got your fear for dental treatment we are here to help you.

We have seen many patients with dental fear who after treatment by us are more confident and secure to come back. Sadly, when the fear is deeply rooted it almost never completely vanishes. However, at ZahnCity we can make it easier for you with different treatment options. 

 

First of all we always work calm and gentle in a pleasant environment. We explain and prepare you for every new step. Whenever you feel too stressed or scared we pause or terminate the treatment. 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 still experience a large uncontrolled stress inside we often recommend sedative before treatment. We use a benzodiazepine which mainly works anxiety-reducing and will relax the skeletal muscles. You will be calmer but not sleep. This often helps those people who unfortunately never get rid of their dental fear.

 

In special cases we also offer you general anesthesia. This is often necessary when patients come with a great need of treatment and with severe toothache. In other words when we can´t slowly increase the treatment level to build up a trust. However it is not without risk to be under narcosis. The body goes through tough states. A healthy person has low risk for complications, but you should always consider and try treatment with or without light sedative by us first. 

 

We want to see you relaxed and calm by us. With a satisfied patient we can fulfill the best treatment.
