The Fear Factor: Techniques for Success with the Anxious Patient

The days of marketing your practice through esthetic dentistry may be over or a losing battle. Research shows that over twenty five percent of the dental population do not visit a dentist on a regular basis out of fear. They may be afraid of the injection, the sound of the drill or the anticipated pain associated with a dental procedure. This CE webinar is designed for the entire dental team, specialists and practitioners with all levels of experience. I will discuss the unique problems or concerns associated with treating anxious patients. We will cover local anesthesia, non-pharmacological and pharmacological ways to manage your patients. In order to treat this unique population the provider must understand the unique challenges they present. My practice was dedicated to treating the anxious patient and over the past 42 years I've developed systems to treat this under served group of dental patients.    (enter class)
