Treatment of phobic patients and treatment under laughing gas in Rostock, Germany

Many people visit the dentist only very irregularly or not at all because of fear. Practically always, the consequences are progressive caries and periodontitis. Some day, unbearable pain, loose or unaesthetical, destroyed anterior teeth finally force the person concerned to consult a dentist.

Do you belong to those nervous and phobic patients as well? Please realize the following: Your teeth will not grow back and dental prostheses are expensive. Therefore, every tooth that may be maintained is very valuable. Moreover, periodontitis also represents a discomfort for general health, since among others it promotes calcification of the blood vessels (arteriosclerosis), increasing the probability of suffering cardiac infarction or an apoplectic stroke.

Thus, there is no alternative than an adequate dental treatment. We take our time to reduce fear within a common conversation. It is important that it is up to you to decide which treatment is acceptable to you. During longer treatments, you may listen to relaxation music including your own favourite music on your MP3-payer. Our patients get a beeper so that they can interrupt the treatment at any time.

Local anaesthetics (anaesthetic injection) is a safe possibility of avoiding pain. Moreover, within a therapy about coping with fear you may learn how to consciously relax during the dental treatment. Should you suffer from severe fear of the dentist (or more precisely: fear of dental treatment) you also may be treated under laughing gas. That is ais a medicine inhaled through a mask and having an anxiety-relieving, soothing and pain-reducing effect. Particularly important for drivers: the effect disappears within a few minutes, so that driving is completely unrestricted afterwards.
