Being Comfortable at the Dentist's

[Guest guest]

How you can be comfortable at the Dentist's:

So you're on your way to the dentist's. That's nice. . . or is it? Something

seems to be bothering you. Will you be comfortable?

Dentists have lots of ways to prevent xxx - - - we won't mention that word.

It starts with " p " and ends with " n " .

But it's the fear and apprehension that really gets to us. Dentists can turn

off the pain, but what of the anxiety?

Here are some methods we've developed that will help keep you more

comfortable during dental visits, actually calmer - and without drugs.

First, people are used to going to doctor visits on an empty stomach. That

doesn't apply to dental visits. Low blood sugar can make you more irritable,

more sensitive to sensations associate with treatment. In fact, years ago

nutritionist Carlton Fredericks told dentists never to give a local

anesthetic injection to hypoglycemics on an empty stomach. It's a stress one

can do without. I'm certain that there are many people with low blood sugar

walking around who don't know they have it!

Some DDSs serve patients a protein drink on their arrival for treatment. We

did. When they do this, it's a clear indication that they have

health-centered practices. It's a sound kindness. It sustains and raises one's

resistive capacity during treatment.. We're totally against offering

patients tea or coffee. The caffeine in them initially raises the blood

sugar level, but in short order the level drops - and this results in low

energy, fatigue, and irritability.

Certainly, you can have some nuts on the way to your visit. One woman even

brought a slice of cheese to eat before her visit.

1. So #1 is to have some protein before you see your dentist. You'll not

only be calmer, you will be better able to cooperate with him or her. DDSs

deal with fine details and need your help.

In one particular case, I knew I had made my point when a patient asked,

" What did you have for breakfast, Jerry? "

Our brain is sensitive, and it reacts when we don't put the right fuel into

us. Stay with a nutritionally oriented practice, and you'll do better.
