Fear of the dentist
Why does dental anxiety occur?
The fear can be due to many different things, for example:
Previous negative experiences at the dentist
Fear of pain or discomfort
Feeling of losing control
Shame over the condition of the teeth
Inherited or transferred fear (from parents or others)
The memory of an unpleasant treatment in childhood
For some, the fear manifests as trembling, cold sweats, or palpitations - for others, it shows as anxiety or panic feelings before or during the visit.
How we help you if you're afraid of dental care
Our goal at Luxadent is to make your visit as calm and comfortable as possible.
We work with empathy, clear communication, and a safe environment where you feel you have control.
We can help you manage your fear by:
Taking extra time to go through the treatment in advance
Explaining each step during the treatment
Making regular breaks if you need to rest
Allowing you to listen to music during the treatment
Letting you have a friend or relative with you
Offering sedatives, nitrous oxide, or anesthesia if needed
All our staff are trained to meet patients with anxiety or panic feelings, and we always adjust the pace according to your needs.
Why you should continue going to the dentist
Avoiding dental care due to fear can unfortunately lead to problems worsening, making the treatment more extensive later. By attending regular check-ups, we can detect problems in time and avoid major interventions – which in turn reduces both anxiety and costs in the long run.
Treatment of dental anxiety with anesthesia
For patients with severe dental anxiety, we also offer treatment under anesthesia.
Under anesthesia, you sleep deeply and notice nothing of the treatment. Our anesthesiologist is always present and responsible for the entire procedure. This is a safe option for you if you can't undergo treatment while awake.
