How to Distract Yourself During a Dental Cleaning

Posted .

Do you ever feel tense or stressed in the dental chair? If so, our dentist, Dr. Behnam Y. Moghadasian, would like to help you feel more calm, comfortable, and relaxed. You deserve a positive dental experience! So, he would like to give you some tips on how to distract yourself during your dental cleaning appointments. Those tips are:

-Bring your favorite music. However, it’s best if it’s calming music so it can help you stay relaxed. You can also bring music you’ve never heard before so you focus on the new lyrics rather than the cleaning.

-Focus on your breathing. Breathing techniques can help you stay calm and relaxed in the dental chair.

-Bring a buddy and have them tell you stories. This can take your mind off the treatment.

-Talk to your hygienist. Ask your hygienist questions. When they are working in your mouth, they can answer your questions and teach you more about your oral health and smile.
