So I was thinking..if we are deciding on which dentist is right to help us, as an anxious pt and want to learn more about them, their style and how they deal with anxiety.. which questions would you ask.
a few I came up with..
First I'd want to know why they came into dentistry and what is their favorite part to get a personal feel for them.
then pertaining to anxiety
A new patient walks in and identifies themselves as very anxious patient how do you proceed with the appt.?
What if an anxious patient starts crying in the chair, how do you respond
Anxious patient comes in after being out of dental chairs for 20 years and has a mouth full of cavities and tx to do.. what do you say to them?
do you think it is the patients fault they are anxious
For what reasons do you think people avoid the dentist?
What specific fears of going to the dentist do people have?
What are some specific ways, techniques, that you can help your anxious patients.?
What is not a good thing to tell or do to an anxious patient
An anxious patient gets scared mid tx and puts the stop sign up what do you do
other ideas?? what would you ask?
