Do you fear dentists? According to a recent poll, 50% of Americans do not go to the dentist regularly.
Are you one who avoids the dentist? Do you dread the very thought of going to one? Putting off till the last moment the phone call that could save you pain and money because just the idea of sitting in a dentist's chair puts chills down your spine, leaves your palms clammy and causes you to hyperventilate?
Then you have come to the right place!
Even the most intelligent of people suffer from dental anxiety, putting off going to the dentist, thinking (hoping) that the pain in their mouth will just go away. Trying all the old folk remedies to stop the pain, as well as buying every tube of Anbesol, oraljel, and Sensidine they can locate. Rubbing aspirin on their gums (which by the way is NOT the wise thing to do and can cause mouth ulcers). Gargling with warm salt water, mixing up a solution of ½ Hydrogen Peroxide, and half warm water and swishing it around in their mouths. You name it, they will try it. Anything they can rather than go to the Dentist. This anxiety has affected so many people in the United States that the American Dental Association has rounded up the money and started flooding the air waves of television with ads promoting 1-800-DENTISTS During the commercial you are confronted with people who have straight teeth, brilliant smiles and who put your own teeth in question adding to your shame. After they tell you that you need to Prevent problems by calling them to find a wonderful, capable, gentle dentist that won’t hurt you, you are then supposed to spring off the couch, grab the phone and make the call! It’s that easy…or is it? |
