What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in relation to dental anxiety?

CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns. In the context of dental anxiety, CBT helps patients recognize and challenge their fears about dental procedures, enabling them to approach treatments with a more positive and relaxed mindset.

How does CBT differ from other anxiety management techniques?

While some anxiety management techniques offer temporary relief, CBT aims to address the root cause of the anxiety. By changing the underlying thought patterns that fuel dental fears, patients can achieve long-term relief and a permanent shift in their attitudes towards dental care.

FAQs

Who is a good candidate for CBT at Serio Dental?

Anyone who:
