When it comes to fear just about everyone has a “story to tell.” Friends often group around the camp fire sharing the scariest of tales from days past, kids cuddle with their parents to seek comfort from various fears and so down the list. One common fear stretches across America and wears carries the tagline Periodontist Long Island!
Although this particular fear is widespread it is completely unjustified with less than 10% of all patients ever actually experiencing any discomfort during dental treatments. The American Academy of Periodontology conducted a poll of 164 Periodontists where three quarters of them reported the majority of their patients report no discomfort.If less than 10% of patients actually experience discomfort where does all the fear come from? For most patients the origin of their fear comes from hearing about a friend or family member’s bad experience from 10 or more years ago, however advances in treating periodontal disease more comfortably make these “old” claims null and void.
Some measures that Periodontists have advanced in improving patient comfort include specific procedures to help deal with fears and anxieties during visits, procedures that make treatment less painful, improvements in local anesthesia, pain and anxiety medications and conscious sedation if necessary.When seeking periodontal treatment today modern practices have removed all cause for fears.
