And even today, despite modern technology, we continue to put off going to the doctor until the last minute.
"It's bearable for now", "No time for this", "Sometime later". These phrases are familiar to many. And there is nothing surprising in this - fear of the dentist is one of the most common.
But it is worth looking at it differently. Modern dentistry is no longer a scary office from the past. It is comfort, professionalism and a caring attitude. Anesthesia has long been effective and safe. Most procedures are quick and virtually painless.
It is important to remember that prevention is always better than cure. The sooner you go, the easier and cheaper everything is resolved. And most importantly, without unnecessary stress.
If you are postponing your visit only because of internal tension, that is normal. But sometimes it is enough to just take the first step of making an appointment, talking to the doctor, asking questions. This helps to reduce anxiety and return to self-care without fear.
