“Kursi dekhte hi BP badh jata hai” – dental anxiety bohot common hai. Drill ki awaz, injection ka thought, ya past ka koi bad experience logon ko years tak dentist se door rakh sakta hai.
Pehla step honestly accept karna hai ki tum anxious ho. Dentist ko straight bol do: “Mujhe bohot darr lagta hai, please thoda slow jaaiye.” Acha dentist isko seriously lega—zyada explain karega, breaks dega, numbing achhi karega.
Local anaesthesia injections se pehle topical gel se area numb kiya ja sakta hai. Thin needle, slow injection technique se discomfort minimum hota hai. Procedure ke time consciously naak se deep breathing, ya music/some distraction listen karna mind ko calm karta hai.
Small check-up, cleaning, ya tiny filling se start karna better hai, directly big root canal/crown se nahi. Jaise-jaise positive experiences build honge, fear naturally kam hoga.
Sedation options (like nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, IV sedation) some clinics me available hote hain for very high anxiety cases—ye doctor ke evaluation ke baad hi decide hote hain.
Sabse risky pattern ye hai ki sirf fear ki wajah se dental problems ignore karte jao. Choti cavity jo early stage me easily treat ho sakti thi, woh baad me root canal ya extraction tak pahunch sakti hai—jo ironically aur bada treatment ban jata hai.
