Overcoming dental anxiety with a trained therapy dog.
Dental anxiety is a completely natural fear and for some patients, a very hard one to overcome. For patients with this anxiety, however, those who require dental treatments or a check-up and clean find themselves putting off the dental treatment as they don’t want to confront the fear.
What is a Therapy Dog?
A Therapy Dog is a dog that has been trained with its owner to provide therapeutic intervention to patients in the community. Research has found that dogs cortisol levels can sync with their owners, meaning they can sense when someone is stressed, feeling down, depressed or even lonely, and naturally want to provide their companion with their unconditional love and support.
