It is a classic vicious cycle: a small defect in a tooth causes a slight twinge. Fear of going to the dentist leads to postponing the appointment. The damage gets worse, the pain increases \u2013 and with it, the fear of the now necessary, more extensive treatment. <\/p>\n\n
If you recognise yourself here, you are not alone. Studies (such as those by the IDZ) show that around 60 to 80% of the population are familiar with an uneasy feeling when visiting the dentist. For around 15%, this fear is so pronounced (odontophobia) that they avoid going to the dentist altogether \u2013 often with serious consequences for oral health and self-esteem. <\/p>\n\n
Modern dentistry has understood: we do not treat teeth, we treat people. And for people with anxiety, there is now a step-by-step concept that enables relaxed, pain-free treatment. <\/p>\n\n
Often, pain is not the main problem, but the feeling of losing control (\u201cbeing at someone else\u2019s mercy\u201d). A specialised team discusses every step with you before<\/em> the treatment. <\/p>\n\n Fear of the \u201cinjection\u201d is often greater than fear of the drill. Thanks to modern techniques, this pain can now be avoided. <\/p>\n\n Banned in everyday life, yet known today as the gold standard in anxiety therapy: nitrous oxide sedation.<\/p>\n\n If nitrous oxide is not sufficient, analgosedation is a proven option.<\/p>\n\n\n
Step 2: Low-pain local anaesthesia<\/h2>\n\n

Step 3: Nitrous oxide \u2013 relaxation at the push of a button<\/h2>\n\n

Step 4: Analgosedation (twilight sedation)<\/h2>\n\n
