Clinic “Aesculapius” offers patients a comfortable and pleasant environment, fully tailored to their needs. The main goal of our clinic’s team is to make dental visits a pleasant experience for the patient, free from fear or any other form of discomfort.

Research conducted in leading European countries has shown that 80% of the population in developed countries experience some level of “dental anxiety.”

Aesculapius advises you—before you start thinking about fear, consider how pleasant is the toothache that bothers you almost every day? Or the yellow plaque that appears on your teeth from coffee, tea, or tobacco use… The list of problems is long, and it certainly outweighs your fears.

So, here’s our advice:

• Find the right doctor for you. A properly selected dentist will create a comfortable environment;
• Try to relax before your dental visit—take a walk, listen to music, or meditate in advance;
• Take a friend with you, so you don’t feel alone;
• Arrive at the clinic earlier than your appointment time, so you have more time to adapt and get familiar with the environment;
• Be sure to inform your doctor about your phobia so they can be prepared for possible complications;
• Ask any question that comes to mind and wait for the answer—the more informed you are about the procedure, the calmer you’ll feel.
