For many people, a visit to the dentist is associated with unpleasant feelings. We are used to dealing with anxious patients in our practice - we are confronted with them every day.
The aim with anxious patients is to reduce their anxiety so that treatment is possible. By explaining what will happen before each treatment step, anxious patients can prepare themselves psychologically. Knowing what to expect, e.g. that pressure will be felt during tooth removal, often makes the treatment less anxiety-inducing.
We have special techniques available for patients with syringe phobia so that the injection of the local anaesthetic is felt as little as possible. The pain caused by the injection can be reduced by applying a surface anaesthetic (spray) beforehand.
The patient remains fully conscious and responsive, and the nitrous oxide has an anxiolytic and relaxing effect so that treatment can be carried out.
If treatment is not possible despite all the sensitivity and use of nitrous oxide, we offer treatment under general anaesthetic for adults and children in collaboration with the Biel Hospital Centre. In the Biel Hospital Centre children are treated by experienced and specialised paediatric anaesthetists from the paediatric department. Wildermeth Paediatric Clinic treated.
