Dental anxiety is a challenge that many patients face. At Østerbro Dental Center, we specialize in helping you overcome this fear at a patient’s pace.

Our experienced team has extensive experience in managing and educating patients who feel nervous or anxious at the dentist, and we make every effort to create a safe and comfortable experience with us.

We also offer the use of sedatives to help patients with dental anxiety, which can reduce anxiety and make dental procedures more comfortable.

Dentists specializing in dental anxiety

At Østerbro TandlægeCenter, we understand that dental fear can be a barrier to getting the dental treatment you need. That’s why all dentists take the time to understand your needs as a patient.

We offer customized dental treatment where you always see the same dentist, creating a trusting relationship that gives you a sense of security and immense relief.

We listen to you, respect your boundaries and adapt all treatment to your wishes and needs.

From the moment you enter our clinic, you are at the center of everything we do to ensure you feel comfortable and avoid a painful and anxiety-provoking treatment.

Pain-free treatment for those with dental anxiety

Many people dread going to the dentist because of the fear of a lot of pain or unpleasant experiences. At Østerbro TandlægeCenter, pain-free treatment is a matter of course.

We know that painlessness is not only about physical comfort, but also about mental comfort. A bad experience of going to the dentist, especially in childhood, can reinforce anxiety and lead to dental fear.

That’s why we make sure to explain every step of the treatment so you know exactly what’s going to happen. We don’t do anything without your permission and we never push you to do anything you’re not ready for.

In addition, we only use modern technology and equipment, which is your guarantee of a painless treatment without the need for general anesthesia.

  • Bring a friend who can reassure you and stay with you during treatment.

  • Use the Cope It app when you arrive at the clinic and while waiting in the waiting room.

FAQ

What is dental fear?

Dental fear, also known as odontophobia, is an intense fear of dentists or dental visits. This phobia can be a major obstacle for many people, causing them to avoid necessary dental visits. The symptoms of dental phobia can vary from person to person, but often include an overwhelming sense of anxiety at the thought of going to the dentist, fear of dental instruments, and concerns about possible painful and anxiety-provoking treatments. Some also experience physical symptoms such as palpitations, sweating and nausea when thinking about their next dental appointment.

How many Danes have dental fear?

Dental fear is more common than many people think. In fact, it is estimated that up to 40 percent of the Danish population suffers from some form of dental fear. For around 10 percent, this fear is so severe that it prevents them from getting the necessary treatment at the dentist. This means that many Danes live with untreated dental problems that could have been avoided with regular dental visits. At Østerbro TandlægeCenter, we are aware of this challenge and are committed to helping you overcome your dental anxiety.
