NERVOUS
PATIENTS

Is
this your view of the dentist?
If you are anxious about dental treatment then
you are not alone. Between 6% and 14% of the
population avoid attending the dentist because of
anxiety and 45%-55% of patients are anxious in the
dental environment.
|
The
reasons people fear attending the dentist are many and
varied and we believe that the first step to providing
sympathetic care is to recognize that the fear is real and
acute.
At
Centre Dentaire Amical, our considerate and caring staff are
trained to try to understand the problem. We believe that
communication is key and encourage anyone who is feeling
anxious for any reason (embarrassment, pain, fear, cost
etc.) to tell any one of our staff at the outset.
