Strategies for Patients with Dental Anxiety – Episode 7: Therapy Thursday Podcast with Chelsea Kuntz

November 14, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

In today’s episode of Therapy Thursday, Chelsea shares some practical strategies that clinicians can employ to help their patients who may be experiencing anxiety during appointments.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • The two main things that are hampered in an anxious patient
  • How the clinician can help fix these

 

Quotes:

 

“Many times…either lack of trust or lack of control were very contributory to their previous traumatic experience.”

 

“Encourage two-way communication.”

 

“If we offer that open door right at the gate, then they are going to feel a lot more comfortable and in control of their treatment plan.”

 

“Get your scripting down with how you explain different procedures.”

 

“When you’re laid back with drills in your mouth, that can be a really scary experience if you don’t know how to effectively get out of that situation or have an exit strategy.”

 

“You can always pause and resume.”

 

“That is almost always my ‘go-to’ right off the bat is providing more information than necessary, or that I would think necessary.”

 

“I knew…I could always raise my hand if something was uncomfortable.”

 

“I always knew that they would be listening to me.”
