Most people
are afraid of the dentist. The reason of this can be that they met an
incompetent or rude dentist in their childhood who gave them pain. Besides many
people are in dread of the unpleasant sound of the drill.
Attila
Knott said that their doctors get a special training how to ease the tension
and fear of the patients. At the first meeting doctors gain information about
the patients’ dental past. When was the first time when the patient was at a
dentist? What memories does he or she have? According to Attila Knott it is
very important that the patient share his or her fear with the doctor and in
this way it can be solved by the dentist.
At the first
time our doctors introduce themselves and they also demonstrate their
professional past briefly and those specialities where they are trained in. The
main aim of these is the patient feels he/she is treated by the best
specialist. If the patients see they are at a competent dentist they open out
easier and share their fears about the dental treatment.
On the walls
of the surgeries copies of different degrees, courses and qualifications are on
view for everyone.
After the
introductory talking the dentists show the dental tools and they demonstrate how
and what these things are used for. Attila Knott thinks most people are scared
of the sound of the drill. The music could be the solution for the bad sound of
this tool which can be listened by the help of earphones. After the first
meeting the assessment of the patient’s dental state can start.
