It’s human nature to put off the things we enjoy least, but some things really shouldn’t be left. Dental treatment is one of those things. It’s extremely common for people to feel some degree of nervousness or anxiety about visiting the dentist, but the greater the anxiety, the more likely one is to delay treatment or avoid it altogether.
Around 12% of patients in the UK have an ‘extreme dental anxiety’. In some cases, it can be so severe that the patient never visits a dentist. This can have a dramatic effect on the health of their teeth and gums, but also on people’s general health (as there is a direct correlation between oral and overall health). It is also a vicious circle as the worse the teeth become the more anxious the patient and the less likely they are to seek treatment.
That’s why Care Dental Group established the Enjoyable Dentistry Technique. Dr Bashar Al-Naher actively sought out a technique which would allow all patients to have totally fear free, pain-free dentistry which would be comfortable, and even enjoyable, if possible. After many years of research into a variety of fields including dental sedation, psychology, self-development, local anaesthesia, the nature of pain he developed the Enjoyable Dentistry Technique.
