Tips to Reduce Stress Associated with a Dental Appointment
Always at the forefront of new dental techniques, Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor are recognized for their innovation, precision and talent, and strive to make each visit a pleasant experience. The renowned cosmetic dentists are known for being the first to offer reflexology with a massage therapist and satellite radios in every treatment room, and now have added iPads to their list of amenities – all to help patients relax during their visit. Below, the experts offer tips to help de-stress before heading to the dentist:
Eat away your fear: Fear lowers your blood sugar level. To combat this, eat food prior to your appointment to help raise your blood sugar and keep calm.
Skip Starbucks: Avoid coffee and other stimulants that may increase anxiety. To reduce stress, enjoy a glass of wine….relax, it’s just a cleaning!
Go for a run: Raising your endorphin levels will decrease stress prior to your next dentist appointment. If you can’t go for a run, take a brisk walk around the block for a breath of fresh air.
