The Calming Dentist // The emotional scars of dentistry

When people are recounting previous bad experiences at the dentist, I find that the thing that haunts them is often not the actual dentistry but it’s how they were made to feel by the dentist. Maybe the dentist said something like “how could you let your teeth get into that state” or maybe the dentist got angry or frustrated, or didn’t believe them when they said they weren’t fully numb.
This leaves people feeling belittled, disrespected, humiliated. And that’s what can really leave the scars. Now if someone is made to feel that way, it’s no wonder that they aren’t rushing back to the dentist in a hurry. What I’m telling you though is that it does not have to be that way. It is possible to attend the dentist and experience dignity, respect, and you can feel in control.
