I was just thinking at this point how I feel very safe and less anxious with the dentist I am now with and thinking why that is and wondering what makes you feel safe , more at peace and less anxious at a dental clinic, /dentist?
For me.
Starts with a good front desk/reception experience, someone who is friendly and doesn't make you feel like a bother, has a kind demeaner on phone,email and in person. I really appreciate talking to and seeing familiar faces when I go.
A caring and understanding assistant, and its really nice to have the same one to work with you feel comfortable with all the time. I know for me the assistant Aimee is awesome and I'm very comfortable knowing she is there and working with my dentist.
There Must be good chairside manner for me. I really appreciate that I know my dentist wants to understand me and my questions and thoughts, he listens and makes sure all my questions are addressed. He also really respects my stop sign, and wants to make SURE 100% I am in no pain.. He is really good at this.. and this definately makes me feel safer in the chair.
I also feel safe at a single dentist practice than a multidentist or group practice.. as I know I will always have the same dentist and no opportunity for a switcheroo . like they used to do at a previous clinic I went to. I know I will get the dentist I trust and like to work with!
I feel safer in my clinic now as I know my dentist isn't going anywhere, he is stable and has roots in the area with the practice so I can build a professional relationship for my son and I here and not worry he is going anywhere else too soon. I absolutely adore my previous dentist who kept switching ,very thankful for him! I do feel a bit safer now knowing I can settle in with someone I trust.
Well.. This is just top of my head.. what makes you feel safe?
