About this episode

Dental anxiety is a big topic of conversation among The Panic Pod and School of Anxiety community, and for understandable reasons.

Today on the Panic Pod we are joined by guest expert, Dr Niall Neeson a.k.a The Calming Dentist. Niall has a wonderfully empathetic approach to supporting those of us with dental anxiety to navigate our experiences in the dentist's chair.

Niall offers up some great tips and ways of communicating with your dentist in order to have the most comfortable experience possible. We discuss why dental anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of and that open communication between you and your dentist is the best way to ensure a calming experience. Your dentist wants this for you.

You can find Niall on Instagram @thecalmingdentist.

Enjoy this much needed conversation, we hope it makes your next trip to the dentist that much easier.
