Fear is an unpleasant but normal feeling in all areas of life, and in many cases, it is absolutely reasonable, occurring in every person.
Patients with an anxiety disorder (about 10% of the German population) differ from those with normal levels of anxiety in that they completely avoid any dental treatment. In this pronounced form, it is referred to as dental treatment phobia.
As a result of this avoidance strategy, oral health deteriorates over time, accompanied by feelings of shame in both personal and professional settings, sometimes even towards the dentist. Rest assured, we have extensively and intensively dealt with this condition, so we are aware of your situation and your feelings.
We take the necessary time to give you the space you need to build trust in us. Therefore, we assure you that in the first appointment, we will only discuss what brings you to us and what you can expect from us. Treatment will only take place explicitly when you feel ready for it. We have a variety of options available to tailor to your individual needs. And should you suddenly lose your courage again, we will see each other at a new appointment.
