Listen to your favourite tracks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popping in an\nearphone with your favourite track playing away is a great way to reduce some\nof those dentist chair nerves that might crop up, as it distracts your brain\nfrom thinking about what\u2019s going on at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do plan on\nlistening to some of your favourite tunes we recommend that you stick to\nsomething calm and low tempo, as things like thumping electronic music or\nscreeching guitars in heavy metal can spike your heart rate and make you feel\nanxious again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calming breathing techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another tip for\nkeeping calm when stopping by Clear Braces\nDirect in London <\/strong>is to try learning and then practising a few\nmeditative breathing techniques. This is because when you feel anxious, your body\nstarts to flood with adrenaline as it tries to kick in your \u2018fight or flight\u2019\nresponse, slow regular breaths will allow more oxygen into your system which\nwill help break down the nerve rattling chemicals much quicker. You don\u2019t need\nto learn any complicated yoga techniques though, as simply breathing in through\nyour nose and back out through your mouth for a few minutes should be enough to\ncalm you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take in a family member<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried about being alone in the dentist chair with our team, especially if you are a new patient then try bringing along a family member of friend. Having that familiar face to focus on throughout your treatments can be enough to keep those nerves at bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
