We all know that having to go to the dentist is not everyone’s idea of fun, no matter how lovely the dentist is, and that for some people it is an impossibility. Suffering pain is preferable to the thought of going to the dental practice, which is undoubtedly – in their minds going to cause them more pain.
Dentists know this and go out of their way to try to make patients feel comfortable.
It starts with the smiling face at reception and the comfortable waiting room with magazines and television to distract them from their angst.
Then the actual time has come and they have to go into the surgery and the nurse and dentist smile and radio or music is playing, maybe a television is on, hopefully making them feel that they are somewhere else.
The patient gets on the chair and although the chair is an expensive top of the range chair, it is not comfortable and the discomfort adds to the patients anxiety and they cannot relax and so the cycle begins.
Help is at hand with our range of anti-microbial dental chair cushions, that make the patients experience a much more comfortable one.
The simple act of offering a headrest and a backrest to make them more comfortable, demonstrates an additional layer of care and understanding. This additional comfort enables the patient to relax and therefore be easier to treat.
