Anyone can go Beyond Fearto a life free from Dental Anxiety, Dental Fear or Dental Phobia
"No matter what you have tried
before, how desperate and alone you feel or how deeply embedded your
fears are there will be a way that you will be able to overcome
them. The solution lies within and if you diligently seek it you
will, without a shadow of a doubt, find the solution for you."
"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.
It is not the event that gives rise to the feelings of anxiety, fear or phobia, it is the way the event is appraised.
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.
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.
