The downsides to Dental Dread

Did you know almost 50% of Canadians suffer from dental dread?

A Canadian survey conducted for Septodont revealed that 1-in-4 18-34 year-olds are most likely to avoid the dentist due to the dread of dental freezing.

Debunk #DentalDread with these tips from Dr. Gary Klein:

• Wearing sunglasses to help relax.
• Using meditation techniques such as relaxed breathing during the appointment.
• Using earbuds at each appointment to listen to their favourite music or podcast.
• Discussing with them and addressing any dental dread they might experience prior to each appointment.
• Stressing the need for regular visits and checkups before teeth, gums or mouth begins to feel painful.
