According to a UK public health study, 36% of people suffer from moderate fear of going to the dentist while the number of people suffering from phobia is 12%. People who are afraid to go to the dentist have declined over the years, but today it is still fairly common and should not be ashamed of it.
How do we help patients with fear or phobia go to the dentist?
At Padrós dental clinic we offer patients with fear of going to the dentist conscious sedation. It is not a general anesthetic, therefore, the patient is conscious at all times, but does not suffer from nervousness, nausea, or anxiety.
If you want to know more about what conscious sedation is, you can find more information in the section fear or phobia of the dentist.
