Fear of the Dentist Isn't Inborn, It's Learned! There's no need for patient anxiety with Hamlin Dental Group's expert, gentle care.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dental phobia is a very real phenomenon; it effects as many as 75% of US adults, who say they experience some level of fear when it comes time to see the dentist -- that's some three out of every four people! Though dental phobia can manifest with varying levels of severity, the fact remains that most of us would simply rather not go to the dentist if we didn't have to. Nevertheless, fear of the dentist is not inevitable. In fact, a recent study conducted by the US National Library of Medicine concluded that only 12% of children up to 12 years of age experience any fear at all while visiting the dentist. At the Hamlin Dental Group, their dedicated team of experts is hard at work reversing the trend of dental phobia in adult patients by fostering a friendly and gentle approach that emphasizes a patient's comfort.
With evidence showing that dental fear is something that's developed at some point after early childhood, it's easy to see that most of us don't start off fearing the dentist. For that reason, it's important to analyze the factors that might be contributing toward this shift in attitude. One of the major causes is likely the more complex dental procedures that adults tend to undergo that may focus on certain sensitive areas of the mouth, including root canals and periodontal procedures. In addition to numerous other dental myths, these procedures have a reputation for being painful even though they're carefully designed not to be, and rarely are when performed properly.
Combating these dental misconceptions with knowledge and information is crucial. That's Why the Hamlin Dental group is committed to patient education, particularly with younger patients, to help put a stop to dental phobia before it starts. Hamlin also places a high value on gentle dentistry. Bedside manner is important in any type of healthcare, but in dentistry it's all the more critical to provide a comfortable and pleasant experience. Experts like the highly experienced specialists at Hamlin Dental work hard to give each and every patient gentle care that bucks all the usual negative dental stereotypes.
Focusing on gentle dentistry, a commitment to patient comfort, and top tier treatments for individuals of any age are all a part of what gives the Hamlin Dental Group the edge over their competitors as a preferred family dental practice.
