Treatment of patients with anxiety (dental phobia)
Unfortunately, nowadays, there are more and more people who are afraid of dental treatment. This is also referred to as dental fear or dental phobia.
The reasons for this vary, for example, bad experiences in the past can cause corresponding fears.
Such a phobia can make treatment difficult or sometimes even impossible. Therefore, we as a team of your dental practice in Mannheim do everything possible to support you optimally, even as a fear patient.

Effectively stopping the cycle of fear and non-treatment
As a result of dental phobia, many people drag dental problems around with them, which unfortunately do not usually resolve themselves. It is important to break this fatal cycle of fear and non-treatment.
Treatments that are tailored to these individuals will also give them back a smile.
This is how we help with dental anxiety in your dental practice in Mannheim, Germany.
First and foremost, we proceed gently. At the first appointment, for example, there is no treatment yet. Instead, an experienced team first takes care of your wishes, ideas and fears.
The necessity and extent of the dental treatment as well as the different therapy options are discussed with you in peace.
Only when a mutual relationship of trust has been established can treatment begin. Various medications or anesthesia options will then help you to manage your fears during the treatment procedures as well.
