"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."

Denis Waitley

In order to go Beyond Fear you must accept responsibility for changing the conditions that enables your dental anxiety, dental fear or dental phobia to control your life. Whatever started your dental anxiety, dental fear or dental phobia is irrelevant, it really doesn't matter, but what you do need to understand is that that event, whatever it was, still controls the way you think and what you think controls how you feel. This leads to need to know point number one.

This means that the way you think, or thought, about the experience that started your dental anxiety, dental fear or dental phobia will directly affect how it makes you feel.

You alone can do it - but you don't need to do it alone

When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

No doubt you have found this site because you suffer from some form of anxiety, fear or phobia and you have decided that now is the time to do something about it. Maybe you have decided that you have had enough of being controlled by old fears and now is the time for you to regain control.

I could tell you that it would improve you life tremendously and it would allow you to regain your self-confidence, self-esteem and, of course, your smile but you probably understand that already. Sooner or later you will get to the point when you realise that you need to deal with "the fear" before it takes over your life completely. Maybe you are at that point already but cannot see a way forward. Maybe you have tried to beat your fears and not succeeded, which only re-enforced the problem. Some people have hidden strengths that they discover can help them in situations like yours. Others are unable to find those strengths themselves and need help to do so.

People do not have to live their lives controlled by anxieties, fears or phobia. When you are able to get in touch with your own inner strength, then opportunities will open up for a deep transformation that will allow you to do things you never thought possible. You do not have to understand how this works, in order to use it. You do not have to live you life controlled by past experiences. People can, you know, find ways to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems. Through a variety of gentle, intuitive, and effective approaches tailored to your needs, let me help you to discover your inner strengths and show you how to become one of those people and overcome your dental phobia.

Through the Eyes of a Phobic

My teeth got progressively worse. There were more cavities. Teeth started crumbling away and breaking off at gum level. Abscesses were regular occurrences and often lasted for several days swelling the side of my face.
The constant pain was almost unbearable but still my fears prevented me from seeking help. I would take painkillers like they were sweets but still I could not go to the dentists because of my unconscious fears. I tried various ways to pull the offending teeth out to try to stop the pain - failing miserably and making the situation worse.

With a phobia the fear far outweighs the threat but the sufferer often has little control over their reactions. My rational thoughts told me that the pain, I currently felt, could not be anywhere near as bad as any pain I may experience having dental treatment. My unconscious mind did not agree ... the fear won. It has been said, "When it hurts enough people will go to the dentist." This certainly does not hold true if you are a dental phobic!!

Now, not only were my fears stopping me from going to the dentists I was also ashamed of the way my teeth looked. I thought that the dentist would never have seen teeth as bad as mine and I knew, from past experiences, they would never understand. Once again they would rebuff me and make me feel small and dirty for the way I had let my teeth deteriorate.
