Understanding dental anxiety
Understanding the root causes of dental anxiety can help us better address and alleviate it. Several factors can contribute to this condition, including:
- Past Negative Experiences: Traumatic or painful dental visits in the past can leave a lasting impression, making future appointments seem daunting.
- Fear of Pain: The anticipation of pain, often from previous procedures or stories from others, can heighten anxiety.
- Feelings of Helplessness: Being in the dental chair can create a sense of loss of control, which can exacerbate fear.
- Embarrassment: Concerns about oral health or the appearance of teeth can lead to anxiety about judgement from dental professionals.
- Sensory Overload: The sights, sounds, and smells of a dental office, like the sound of a drill or the smell of chemicals, can be overwhelming for some people.
- General Anxiety Disorders: Individuals with generalised anxiety or other mental health conditions may experience increased dental anxiety.
Whatever it is that makes you tense up when you think about your dental treatments, our compassionate and skilled team of dentists and Smile Support Concierge will help you overcome your challenges and achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.

Consequences of ignoring dental work due to anxiety
Avoiding dental care due to anxiety, although tempting, can lead to serious consequences for your oral and overall health:
- Advanced Dental Issues: Small problems like cavities or gum disease can escalate into more severe conditions, such as infections or tooth loss.
- Pain and Discomfort: Ignoring dental problems can result in chronic pain and discomfort, which can affect your quality of life.
- Higher Costs: Delaying treatment often leads to more complex and expensive procedures in the future, as minor issues become major ones.
- Overall Health Risks: Poor oral health is linked to various systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.
- Decreased Quality of Life: Dental pain, missing teeth, or a self-conscious smile can impact your self-esteem, social interactions, and overall quality of life.
We understand that you’re worried, and will take extra care to help you overcome your fears so that you can get the care you need before the problem escalates into something more serious and costly.
