Hi everyone!
I have a very strong gagging reflex, making it impossible to be completely calm during x-rays and cleanings, but especially fillings.
I'm at that stage where I'm accepting and calm to start a new dentist and get a cleaning, knowing that I may need work done.
With that said, I've read many articles regarding dentists and how they are treating patients during covid. Using different tools and such for cleanings, some of which look pretty large and imposing for us with strong gag reflexes.
So I can familiarize myself with them and ease my anxiety, looking for ideas of what the industry is using to combat the spreading of particles and droplets during procedures. Names and pictures would be helpful too!
Thank you!
