Dental fear. Are you afraid to go to the dentist? It could be interfering with your health. I have been working in the dental field for almost 20 years. It shocks me how many people are terrified of having dental care. This dental fear or the negative emotions can prevent you from being healthy. If you avoid dental care because of fear or anxiety then you need to find a provider who can help you. Avoiding dental care especially routine maintenance like teeth cleanings will increase your future needs for dental treatment. I have found that most fear comes from a traumatic experience as a child, and some may be about feeling pressured or unsure about options. Independent hygiene is a wonderful option for those who may be avoiding the dentists office. The only way to ensure your teeth are healthy is to have them assessed by a professional.

Benefits of independent dental hygiene. Nothing to fear. 

If you have a fear of dentists or the traditional dental environment you have options. Dental hygienists are now practicing independently. This was done to increase access to dental care. These stand alone independent dental hygiene practices like Embrace Dental Hygiene or mobile practices offer an alternative to the traditional “dentist” office. You can choose your practitioner and the environment in which you receive your care. Independent dental hygienists provide only preventative care. Dental care like teeth cleaning, cavity prevention, denture care, and sports mouthguards. That means there are no needles, no drills and often the environment is significantly less intimidating than a traditional office. There is nothing to fear. Clients who experience anxiety can be comfortable. Dental hygienists are trained to provide a comprehensive dental assessment including screening for oral cancers and dental disease. We can then formulate a treatment plan that will help you prevent future dental concerns including any necessary referrals to other healthcare professionals.
