Some Advice for People Who Are Afraid of Having Oral Surgery

October 19, 2021

How do you feel when your dentist tells you that you need to have oral surgery? Tooth extractions might be frightening for some people. Many patients regard an operation as uncomfortable and horrible. However, you should keep in mind that if you trust your dentist, your dental operation will never be anything you should be frightened of or dread.

How to Conquer Your Fear of Tooth Extractions

Inform Your Oral Surgeon About Your Anxiety

Tell your oral surgeon if you’re nervous about your scheduled wisdom teeth extraction treatment. By speaking out, you’ll give your surgeon and their team the chance to tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs.

Find Out More About Your Dental Operation

Fear of the unknown is a common source of dental anxiety. Learning how the surgery will be performed and what to expect throughout recovery will help you relax. We recommend speaking with your oral surgeon. 

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Tooth extraction can be made more accessible by progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing techniques, and meditation. You’ll be able to use a few strategies on the day of your oral surgery if you learn a few procedures and practice them before your treatment.

Bring Someone for Moral Support

Bring a trustworthy family member or friend with you to the oral surgeon’s office. Knowing that someone who cares is watching out for your best interests might help you relax. You’re also unlikely to be able to drive yourself home if you undergo sedation, so inviting someone to accompany you seems logical.
