What
do you need from a dentist in order that you can make an appointment
that you can cope with?
The most frequently asked question is "How do I find the right dentist". For this reason I have made freely available the workbook "Finding the right Dentist" If you follow the simple steps outlined in the workbook you will know exactly how to find the right dentist. Or, if you prefer the personal touch you can call me on 05600 732681 and I will work through the process with you.
When
you finally manage to find the courage to seek professional help and worked out what you need from a dentist it
is vital that you ensure the dentist will will work with you. They must be willing to give you the time, patience and understanding
you will need to continue along the road to recovery in a way that you can handle. It cannot be a
"hit and miss" situation, as it would be so easy to be "kicked back"
into the depth of your fears if the first contact is not right. A wrong
choice at this point could ruin months, or in some cases, years of hard
work.
The Beyond
Fear database is a list of dentists that "go the extra mile"
when it comes to treating their patients.
Contact
them and see if they offer what you require. If you use one of the dentists
on the list please feedback, to the group, how things went. That way
others will benefit from your experience.
Phobic
Patient Recommendations
There
are caring dentists that realise that there are "people behind
the teeth" and will treat you as they would wish to be treated themselves. They
will give you the time you need. They will talk to you and work with
you to beat the problem.
When you see the "Extra (s)mile Award" symbol Beyond Fear
has received excellent feedback from phobic patients who have visited
the dentist concerned. They, with the help and support from the dentist,
were able to successfully undergo treatment and deal with their fears.
