The more i dissociate around people or become anxious the more and more i understand yoongi and people that like being recluse and homebody
the imprints of discomfort behind why someone isolates themselves usually stack up.
fear is a main component: shame, confusion, paranoia, indecision, cynicism, depression, dissociation, low esteem and alienation come right along. it’s never just one emotion, you get an entire cluster that will cage you in. the person’s values i.e. boundaries are hard to unite with the dominant social dynamic around them, so the feeling of difference is staggering. unless you get hooked on a substance, reclusion is the only way to deal with the pressure, awkwardness meaning humiliation and anguish if you feel exhausted from trying or being encroached on (i argue that 70-80% of reclusive people have been bullied). those walls are hard to break and valuable contacts difficult to establish. that pattern can stay for a lifetime even if you work hard to resolve it. reclusion is one of the most deep-wired things i know and projects doubt into any person you encounter.
yoongi is both sensitive and self-conscious and easily escapes into pragmatism over emotions to shield himself. it’s not been responded to. being put on the spot, bent into something else, deprioritized, disappointed, left by yourself, things like that, your self-worth and ability/will to connect is eroded over time. you stop seing the point and it’s legitimate, and become a one person army who rejects others habitually. recluses have been driven to a point of giving up. yoongi verbatim has been strictly parented in the early years, he’s seen many hostile environments and embarrassments. i can see why he was not given what he needed nor learned bonding skills or had a motivation to begin with since people made him feel bad instead of fully welcomed and treated without causing him resentments. 
in a way, yoongi’s avoidance is often similar to namjoon’s but the latter does it to avoid conflict. yoongi secludes himself for peace of mind and preventing heartbreak even if that means sacrificing his needs. jungkook is similar, if not more extreme, though he retains some bodily energy at least. yoongi goes from social depletion to getting even more deprived since one-on-one does charge his batteries. but he can’t get it if he keeps his distance which he does even if others are beside him. that he’s had enough self-control to quit smoking and drinking to cope is an admirable thing. though the root problem will stick around even if you build up your boundaries and restructure your entire social surrounding which is by its very nature hard to control. 
i think the only thing you can do is be very selective with your trust and work yourself from distance to finding similarities. opening up is something to do very gradually, as is leaving the house if at all, it’s better to receive visits or tag along with others when going out. a mentality that helps is that people will first and foremost be concerned with themselves before they look for humiliation in others. also, not labelling people who reach out to you as pitying people with savior complexes, they might have genuine interest in you.

I am not looking forward to these flashbacks. 
To date, we’ve had four onscreen kisses shared between Bellamy and Echo with additional, smaller moments of other forms of intimacy. I’d rather the show refrain from adding more tally marks to the count. 
If humans were gifted with the capacity for purging unwanted memories, then all this discomfort would be a moot point. I suppose there’s always alcohol as a fallback option, but not even the prospect of temporary amnesia is worth destroying my liver. Turning to alcohol to drown my B/E-related sorrows would probably qualify more as self-harm than self-help.
I’d much prefer to cut directly to an imminent breakup scene without the pomp and circumstance of an agonized Echo’s trip down memory lane. 
If anything, supplying us with visual evidence on how happy they were together is an even sadder remark on the state of B/E’s fragility, knowing it took 0.001 seconds for the mere mention of Clarke’s name to bring it all to ruin. No collection of past happy moments shared on the Ring erases the fractures in their relationship that occur between them afterward, originating with the revelation of a still-living Clarke. I'd be an absolute fool to believe otherwise. 
But if Jason deems a tour of their greatest hits as necessary to the story, I trust his judgment. Showing us B/E's origins as their romantic relationship begins to fall apart in real-time brings it full circle, and it lends gravitas to the story he's telling with Echo. With this particular arc, the bigger picture is still Echo's evolution. It's not about B/E.  
Once season 7 started, there was a visible shift in how Jason utilized B/E.  Whereas seasons 5 and 6 primarily used B/E as the third leg in a love triangle designed to keep a pining Bellarke apart, season 7 uses their master-spy dynamic to bolster Echo's development almost exclusively. Post-season 6, Bellarke is so primed to get together, one honest admission of mutual feelings without Echo as an obstacle and BOOM. Canon couple. 
Echo has a more extensive role than girl-to-be-dumped, and I'm not upset over it. She gets to stand up as a character after the majority of her life has been marked by slavery for her crown, and I'm not upset over it. As indemnification for the loss of her relationship, this orphan-turned-soldier is finding her place in a supportive, loving family while developing a sense of identity and independence, and I'm not upset over it.
I would’ve preferred Jason found a way to take her on this path without B/E remaining intact this far into the final season and theoretically for the foreseeable episodes. I would always choose to end them sooner rather than later, given a choice. But I understand why Jason didn't. 
Echo can’t very well outgrow a master-spy complex if there is no master to her spy. And as much as I hate it, the romantic aspect of B/E is a believable, convenient tool to keep this complex in place until her story comes to fruition. Would Echo act so extremely in service to a recent ex-boyfriend who left her for another woman? Probably not. As far as I can tell, the pinnacle of her arc is the moment she realizes she has to break free from Bellamy. So narrative structure demands B/E stay together, however technically, long enough for her to break those chains. 
I was initially excited about the flashbacks, if only because I took them as a sign of an impending breakup. But the timing doesn't pan out. Aside from the logistics of Echo and Bellamy presumably on separate worlds, and with her thinking him dead, we've only just reached the point where Echo might start to ask herself those hard questions she's been avoiding. She must have noticed a change in her relationship. Between Psychosis!Emori, B/E's 6x04 fight, and Anomaly!Roan, she's had enough cause for doubt. But I think she's suppressed any urge to reflect upon it for a number of reasons. Love. Continued hope they'll last. War. A mission to save him. It took a lot of meticulous maneuvering to corner Echo to this point. Now that we're here, I don't think Jason would pull a reverse Uno card in a 40-minute episode. It seems more likely that he will let her continue to stew in her emotions. Either she'll keep sinking until she hits rock bottom, or she'll start learning how to swim. 
Jason could always prove me wrong. And if I am, I'd never be happier for him to do so. If I'm not? It's at times like this when I am reminded of the resolution I made at the end of season 6- rest easy in the comfort of knowing B/E will meet its inevitable end but do not try to speculate when that might be. Attempting to discern the specifics of "when" brings one only misery. 
Jason’s signature sometimes-too-fast, other-times-too-slow pacing, is often liable to tempt one into ripping their own hair out. That being said, I’ve seen enough of this show to trust in his ability to tell a damn good story. Faith in his competency for the craft just requires on our part, the patience of a saint. 
If nothing else, it isn’t my story to tell, so I’ll just have to suck it up and find a way to deal with any disappointments I may feel. Or I can try to find the value within the story told. It's a better alternative than to be left bitter. No promises, though.
Maybe Echo’s actions against the Disciples aren’t reprehensible, considering the people she’s killing are those complicit in kidnapping and torturing her people. But Orlando was a good, honorable man whose naïveté convinced him to play for the wrong team, yet helped our heroes when he didn’t have to. Not unlike Shaw, whom Echo sold to Diyoza to fulfill her mission. But I assume “We are not his people” is residual mistrust leftover from Ryker’s betrayal of her. She miscalculated the feelings of one possible defector before, she won’t make the same mistake twice. 
If she was able to save Bellamy in the end, I’m sure she’d be able to justify the spilled blood it took to get there. But Orlando suffered at her hands for nothing, and she may not be overly concerned with morality, but she cares for the people she grows close to. Unless the episode proves otherwise, I’d like to think Orlando’s fate will weigh heavily on her. 
They may not have been close. But five years in close quarters with only a few people akin to friends for comfort, it'd be hard not to feel the slightest bit attached.
Those of us who believe in Bellarke know Echo is the third-party obstacle in a love triangle. But what is far more interesting is the role she played in the seasons-long Blake siblings struggle. 
Echo was persona non grata to both siblings following her and Octavia's mountaintop fight. Six years later, she highlights the difference in the siblings' maturities. Whereas Bellamy has learned to embrace empathy and forgiveness with open arms, Octavia is cold and unyielding. On a more personal note, B/E represents Octavia's persistent unwillingness to respect Bellamy as his own person, with needs and wants independent of her. 
After her soul searching on Skyring, I thought she had buried the hatchet, as per her lack of vitriol in her 6x12 conversation with Bellamy, and enthusiastically joining forces with Echo in 6x13. Maybe she did. But Octavia has also proven herself an unreliable narrator, and Hope feels indignation on her aunt's behalf. Whatever the case, there's a reason why the dialogue keeps referencing Echo and Octavia's hostile history. And I think it's building to a head in 7x07. 
I think mutual love for Bellamy is healing the divide between them when Echo is at her most fractured. She's isolated from Bellamy and the rest of Spacekru. Left in pain and seeking retribution as Octavia did, which, as we know, is where it all went wrong for the latter. Octavia, more than most, is in the best position to empathize with what Echo is currently feeling and how pain can destroy her if she lets it consume her. 
If Octavia can remind Echo she's not alone, if a former enemy can convince her she belongs and welcome her with open arms- as her brother did before her- it might do well in healing some broken piece inside of her. And it would be a roundabout display of Octavia's newfound maturity. This is good for both of them. This spiral she is in will require her to look inward. Since her fixation with Bellamy is partly what landed her in this mess, absolution cannot come from him. She can only find it in herself if she wants it. But I'd be glad if Octavia can help see her through it. This is what I mean about seeking value in the story told. We're so concerned about Octavia calling Echo family, about the possibility of it legitimizing B/E, it doesn't occur to us that it's about the characters themselves. And B/E is only a vehicle used to bring us there. It's easier to see when not consumed by automatic seething rage, as typical of our fellow Bellarke compatriots, for anything remotely associated with Echo.
If my heart and mind weren’t chanting “BELLARKEBELLARKEBELLARKE,” there’s a good chance I’d be able to better appreciate the complexities B/E gives to the development of the four characters it directly impacts. 
Our side of fandom has made lots of accusations about B/E since 5x01. It’s a forgettable, physical relationship worth little to Bellamy. B/E is unhealthy for reasons x, y, and z. We generate a different example in every episode. Click slideshow for more details. But the fact of the matter is, much of this isn't true. Until Echo went postal, B/E wasn’t unhealthy. Bellamy just had a greater love for Clarke. Up until their ending scene in 6x04, there was nothing they couldn’t come back from together, if both committed themselves fully, no more walls. It's not a particularly popular train of thought among us, but Jason absolutely could've written B/E as an endgame pairing. And all it would take to deliver a final killing blow is the inclusion of a single damning scene.
We can gripe over the length of time they've stayed together. But, in spite of what most people think about every new B/E development and Bellarke separation, Jason has never actually dropped an ax on Bellarke. Hope persists.
Jason is responsible for the development of dozens of characters, major plots, and dozens of smaller subplots. But our fandom reduced the story chiefly to Bellarke's romance. Our villains are those who stand in their way. Namely Echo, the only outside love interest to be an official obstacle. We fashioned Echo as our enemy. In lieu of removing her from the narrative (which is not in our power to do), we've done everything within our purview to diminish her. If Jason won't treat B/E and Echo as the jokes we know they are, we'll do it ourselves. Minimizing her role in the story makes it a hell of a lot easier to erase a character we'd rather didn't exist for our preferred ship to advance.
Lord knows how many times we've claimed she has no story. That absent relevance or substantial bearing, she's there simply because Jason is partial to her for some elusive reason. But the reality is, we never looked for her story because we wanted to be able to claim its inexistence. We wanted to be able to say she's frivolous to the story, and by extension, to Bellamy. We want to be able to dismantle B/E when it appears Jason doesn't. Except he is and has been doing so since day one. 
Months ago, on a whim, when I was feeling benevolent towards Echo, I wrote a long post HERE giving her the benefit of the doubt, and I said:
In the grand scheme of the story, I think this is the purpose Echo serves, to represent the part that says, “We’re all human. No matter what tribe we belong to, we fight for the same reasons. We love the same way. When you leave allegiances aside, when you see someone for who they are at their core, an enemy today can become a friend tomorrow.”
True peace, a series-long running theme for our heroes, begins with embracing former outsiders like Echo and Emori. Easy to lose sight of this when focused on ship wars. 
It is perfectly acceptable not to love all the components of a story. It is understandable to focus your attention on those select segments you find appealing. But a tunnel-visioned mindset lands you in trouble when you become resentful at the reminders that a story is a composite of more moving pieces than just the parts you like. And when you forget that screentime allotted to developing those pieces ahead of what you favor is permissible. Everything on a show has its time, all in due course. 
On the other hand, B/E shippers overinflate their ship's significance. They take canon and twist it to say, "Look at how strong B/E is, Bellarke could never. B/E is endgame, and Blorkes are delusional." Their conclusion of an epic love is another bias-based fandom interpretation that doesn’t hold water, either. 
I think the reality of B/E lies somewhere in a muddled middle of these two extremes. 
One last point, and I'll get off my soapbox. Despite what the melodramatic diatribe in my opening paragraph suggests, B/E is never as atrocious as fandom makes them out to be. Greater fandom treats anything remotely associated with B/E as the next great catastrophe. And as it turns out, it never really is.  
 Tagging @sometimesrosy, because I think, after years of combating opinions you don’t agree with, it might be a refreshing change of pace to know some of us do have more balanced views regarding B/E. If I do say so myself.

South Austin acupuncture
South Austin acupuncture is for allergy sufferers in the San Antonio area, mountain cedar is one of the worst pollen by far, primarily because the pollen counts can go extremely high and remain so for many days at a time. Mountain cedar pollen counts can occasionally reach such a high level that the pollen is actually considered an air pollutant, with the air actually appearing somewhat hazy?). The pollen typically overpowers the symptom-control of just about every common allergy treatment known to medicine. Even prescription medications and inhalers may not be a match for the clouds of pollen. Fortunately, there is a new approach to this problem. Energy medicine techniques, based on the thousand-year-old healing traditions of acupuncture (although the new methods do not require needles and are totally painless), are now available that can effectively "desensitize" allergy sufferers to many allergens, including mountain cedar pollen. These strange-looking methods take effect quickly - within 24 hours and can eliminate mountain cedar allergies for the remaining months of the cedar fever season, and often for future seasons for years to come. The procedure to desensitize mountain cedar pollen, or any other single allergen, is easily done within just one 20 to 30 minute office visit in most cases.
Following the desensitization procedure, sinus congestion, watering eyes, and other allergy symptoms start to subside within a matter of hours.) ease off quickly and the need for antihistamines, decongestants, and other medications is typically eliminated. Affordable health clinic near me Healthcare problems are numerous. When we look at the average citizen seeking healthcare he or she is faced with few options, the quality options are beyond the budget of the average while the affordable ones typically do not offer great quality. The patient self-medicates, pays excessive amounts for good quality care in a private setup or waits in long lines at run.
Affordable health clinics near me. Most of the clinics bill patients on a sliding scale based on household income and many offer free emergency services for those who cannot afford to pay for medical care.
Here is just what you are looking for the affordable option available to those who do not currently have health insurance or are under insured. Full Circle Pain Management Here are some ways to look for a pain management center if a physician cannot provide recommendations:
A local or major hospital nearby may have a center where to manage pain or they may have partners who are one. In the instance that the local or major hospital close by doesn't have a pain treatment center or a partner, inquiring with their Department of Anesthesiology on pain treatment may help simplify the search. The Spine Center or Cancer Center are other hospital departments one can consider.
Medical schools may have pain clinic or they may also conduct tests on pain which is an excellent way for you to get treated.
Never overlook the internet. The Web has a community of pain specialists and pain management centers that is convenient to access. Similarly, different online internet directories of pain specialists and pain centers can be discovered.Accreditation from a recognized organization is most important. This will help make sure that the patients are getting the finest services and the ideal trained employees.
The physicians and support staff should be curious as relates to the patient's case. They should ask questions that would help detect the main cause of the pain. They should also persuade questions from patients concerning the treatments, fees and other services being offered.
In pain management, compassion is an essential principle. Irritability and moodiness is a common characteristic of a person in pain which is why the staff of a certain center must have fortitude and understanding. Patients who are impatient about pain relief should not be reprimanded by physicians or nurses. A kindly-worded justification is the ideal thing to do if a patient's request cannot be satisfied.
Legitimate centers never bring up a patient's expectations too high because a complete pain cure cannot be granted. All probable treatment results must be mentioned to the patient
Integrative medicine & functional medicine
There are many of us nutrition professionals now aligning ourselves with Integrative Medicine. I consider myself in this group. Maybe you are asking yourself what exactly this is and most importantly, does it really matter?
To answer that question, let's first address the area of conventional medicine. For some time now modern medicine has sought to treat the presenting symptoms. This might mean treating a fever or a cough, for example, or addressing pain or other discomforts. Sometimes this approach is entirely appropriate, however more often this approach misses the underlying cause and the person is never completely restored to health. Think of lingering health conditions such as acid reflux, chronic fatigue, and headaches, just to name a few. Drugs are often prescribed and the patient is sent on her way, but the symptoms persist if the drugs are discontinued.
Additionally, there is very little discussion with the patient as to how their condition came about. Unfortunately, and not the fault of our doctors, there is limited time available to spend with patients and so remedies must be delivered quickly. Without more in-depth dialogue there is little chance the practitioner even has the opportunity to see below the surface of what is really going on.
From a dietetic perspective, a conventional approach to diet intervention would be something like prescribing the same diet to everyone with the same disease. 
About Us Serving South Austin Acupuncture We offer acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese herbal medicine. . Acupuncture South Austin Community Acupuncture offers acupuncture in a group setting on a radical sliding scale. With the support of our community we are able to provide treatment that is both accessible and affordable, so you can get acupuncture as often or for as long as needed to get the best results. We do not offer appointments for private treatment, but do some work with acupuncture on tables as necessary. 
This is purely at the discretion of the practitioner and contingent on our workflow. . Cupping If therapeutically relevant, cupping may be offered as part of your treatment (again, at the discretion of the practitioner and contingent on our workflow). We do not offer sliding cupping, gua sha, or other related techniques. . Chinese herbal medicine Herbal medicine is commonly used alongside acupuncture at South Austin Community Acupuncture. Any herbs prescribed are an additional charge. Their price can vary, but we try to keep things affordable. You are also welcome to come in and just buy herbs 'over-the-counter' if necessary.

Learn more at https://fullcircleatx.com/Pain managementPeople often erroneously think of treatment by a pain management specialist as consisting of only narcotic "pain killers." However, the practice of pain medicine or pain management is diagnosis driven just like other medical specialties. Just as one goes to a cardiologist for an evaluation of heart disease and receives treatment based on a unique diagnosis, a visit to a pain management specialist results in unique treatment because every patient with pain is also different. The discipline of pain medicine is concerned with the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of painful disorders. Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. There are approximately 116 million Americans with chronic pain, defined as pain that has lasted more than three months and 25 million people with acute pain.  Integrative medicine, & Functional medicine There are many of us nutrition professionals now aligning ourselves with Integrative Medicine.

6 Ways to Ease Your Child’s Dental Anxiety
Whether it’s your own child begging to skip his next dentist appointment, or the child of a friend who’s deathly afraid of the dental chair, I’m sure you’re aware that dental anxiety in children can be very real.
And what’s worse is that failing to address this problem can cause it to worsen over time, making it difficult to maintain your child’s oral and dental health. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
It is possible to ease your child’s dental anxiety—no medication or sedation required.
What is dental anxiety?
Put simply, dental anxiety is “fear related to seeking or receiving dental care.” But before we dive further into this topic, what exactly does dental anxiety mean?
Many people don’t particularly like to go to the dentist, but they’re not necessarily afraid to go. Dental anxiety, meanwhile, steps into the territory of fear.
Anxiety is actually a multisystem response of the human body to a perceived threat or danger. It reflects a combination of biochemical changes in the body, the patient’s personal history and memory, and the social situation.
Anxiety appears to be a uniquely human experience. Although other animals clearly know fear, human anxiety involves an ability to use memory and imagination to move backward and forward in time—an ability that animals do not appear to have.
Put simply, we are prone to anxiety because we can remember and imagine, and we can extrapolate potential outcomes that cause fear. This is often the case even if those outcomes have never actually happened to us personally (or are unlikely to happen in the future).
The anxiety that occurs in posttraumatic syndrome indicates that human memory is a highly complicated mental function and that a large portion of human anxiety is produced by anticipation of future events, regardless of their likelihood.
For example, your child may have a friend who’s had multiple cavities. One day at school, your child’s friend explains his last dental visit, during which he had his teeth drilled and filled. It was horrible and painful, he says. Now, even though your child’s teeth are in great shape, he is now nervous about visiting the dentist and having a similar experience.
It’s important to distinguish between anxiety as a feeling or experience, and an anxiety disorder resulting from a psychiatric diagnosis. A person may feel anxious without having an anxiety disorder. Likewise, a person facing a clear and present danger or a realistic fear is not usually considered to have an anxiety disorder.
So, to sum this up, dental anxiety is fear of the dentist that causes varying degrees of stress-related responses of the human mind and body. It could be as simple as excessive sweating or as severe as an anxiety attack at the thought of a dental procedure. For children, that anxiety can manifest itself as “acting out,” crying, tantrums, refusal to cooperate, or a myriad of other responses.
Why is my child afraid of the dentist?
In order to ease your child’s dental anxiety, it helps to understand the causes. Then, equipped with that knowledge, you can more effectively deal with and ease his fear of the dentist.
I want you to have the tools you need to make a trip to the dentist a pleasant and rewarding experience for both your child and you, just as I utilize the tools at my disposal for the same purpose.
Fear of Obstructed Breathing: Although you may not hear much about it, the first cause of dental anxiety I would consider is your child’s fear of having his airway blocked. Whether it’s the rubber dam, the instruments, cotton roll, or the dentist’s fingers, the airway is somewhat restricted during normal dental procedures. This elicits a primal fear.
Children are good at vomiting, gagging, and coughing because these are all ways to remove obstructions to breathing. Without this basic fear, we could not survive more than a couple of minutes. For children who are mouth-breathers, this gag reflex is even more accentuated, since it is their survival instinct basically saying, “Get out of the way, I can’t breathe.”
For children who do not breathe well through their nose, this can be very frightening, but it can also be frightening for children who do breathe through their nose. In fact, this innate fear is what makes waterboarding effective for activating an extreme fear response.
Fear of Pain: For many children, pain is also at the root of their dental anxiety, and at one time, it wasn’t completely unwarranted. Dentists used to believe that baby teeth had no nerves, so procedures were performed with only a little nitrous oxide gas, just to calm the child down and keep him from fidgeting.
We now know differently, though. There is pain associated with dental procedures, and if a child indicates the dentist is “bad,” “makes me hurt,” or isn’t “nice,” these may be indicators of undue pain the child has experienced from a dentist who was not properly concerned about giving the child a pain-free experience that would make future dental care more likely.
Adults who’ve experienced legitimate pain as children in a dentist’s chair often remain extremely anxious about visiting a dentist into adulthood. This can lead to a lifetime of rare dental visits, cancelled appointments, and poor dental health.
Fear of Powerlessness: Fear of losing control is a cause of dental anxiety that is related to the fear of pain. A child knows that the big person with the pointy instruments is in charge. If there’s pain or discomfort, the child may very likely feel that he or she has no control over it. This can make him very anxious even if he’s never been to the dentist before.
In my office, we utilize a number of tools to help minimize this kind of anxiety, such as giving the child complete control of the TV remote. No one will take that from him—not a sibling, the staff, or the parent. He’s in control of that remote.
Also, we help the child to understand that if he raises his hand, we will immediately stop. This gives him more control and makes for a less anxious visit. We also give the child a stuffed white dog to hold onto that further helps to minimize fear.
Vicarious Fear: When adults suffer from dental anxiety, they may transfer that fear to a child through vicarious learning. As an example, when a child hears a horror story about a dental visit, he will likely experience the fear of that visit himself.
Children want to copy adults they love and admire, so if someone important has a fear of the dentist, it will be more difficult to ease that child’s dental anxiety, even if he hasn’t personally experienced a problem. In fact, in a study of Scottish children age 13-14, a high predictor of dental anxiety was the number of people in the child’s life who were afraid of going to the dentist. (1)
Too Much Time Between Visits: Another high predictor of dental anxiety in the above study is the length of time since the child’s last dental visit. Although not seeing the dentist does not necessarily mean a child will develop cavities (more on that in a moment), children may assume that infrequent visits to the dentist will result in more problems when they do finally do go. And more problems, in their minds, equals more discomfort, pain, and increased anxiety.
Injections, drilling, and scaling were the highest anxiety-inducing procedures for 13- to 14-year-old participants in the study. Additionally, in many cases, children who are sporadic in their dental visits finally agree to a visit due to pain, which is often cause for a filling or extraction.
Not surprisingly, drilling and extraction are also associated with anxiety, and anxiety resulting from these procedures will likely produce a vicious cycle leading to long term dental anxiety problems. (2)
Fear of the Unknown: Finally, your child’s dental anxiety may be rooted in fear of the unknown.
For some children, fear of the dentist is born out of little more than their imagination of what a dental visit will be like, laced with snippets of information gleaned from media or stories they may hear. They have little or no experience to base this fear on, and sometimes the unknown is quite scary to a child.
Although studies show that the majority of five-year-olds that experience dental anxiety no longer experience it at nine, just under half of the five-year-old study participants were still anxious by the time they reached their ninth birthday. During the follow up period of the study, more than 11% of the non-anxious five-year-olds had developed a fear of the dentist by age 9. (3)
Consequences of Dental Anxiety in Children
A significant problem for the dental profession is dental anxiety and the subsequent avoidance of dental care and deterioration of oral health. (4)
If dental anxiety becomes a long-term issue, the consequences can include a lifetime of avoiding needed dental procedures, which could lead to a marked deterioration in overall oral health. The cycle then continues as new dental issues due to poorly maintained teeth and gums lead to other anxieties.
Not going to the dentist doesn’t automatically lead to cavities, since the development of cavities is actually a diet and hygiene issue, and it is possible to heal cavities naturally, on your own.
But the risks increase with sporadic, rare, or non-existent visits to the dentist. This is especially the case when people aren’t taking the proper supplements or eating the right foods to maintain the health of their teeth, gums, and oral microbiome.
Avoidance of dental treatment often results in a higher incidence of cavities, which has been found to lead to more missing teeth and unfilled, but problematic teeth. (5) This can also lead to feelings of inferiority and shame, which in combination may lead to greater anxiety and further avoidance of dental care.
Impacts of dental anxiety include negative thoughts, crying, aggression, sleep disturbances, disturbed eating habits, and greater self-medication. Impacts on social interactions, performance at school or work, self-esteem, and confidence levels have also been reported.
How to Ease Your Child’s Fear of the Dentist
So, how do you ease your child’s fear of the dentist? Let’s take a look:
1. Choose the Right Dentist for Your Child
Earlier, I mentioned a few ways dentists can minimize dental anxiety in their young patients, based on techniques I use in my practice. Thus, it is very important that you seek out a dentist who is attentive to the needs of children in order to help ease your child’s dental anxiety.
Dentists who have children of their own, for instance, are more likely to be tuned in to the needs of children and may be more sensitive to the things that may potentially induce fear.
2. Don’t Keep Upcoming Visits a Secret
Children need predictability in their life, so letting your child know of an upcoming dental visit in advance will give him time to mentally prepare for the visit. Allow your child to ask questions and express his fears. Answer his questions with straightforward, to-the-point answers while limiting the amount of details you include. Talk to your child about the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth and the rewards and benefits of regular dental care.
3. Teach Your Child How to Find Calm
You can employ relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to slow down your child’s physical reaction to anxiety (i.e. increased heart rate, etc.). Emphasizing the positive aspects of proper dental care and regular dental visits will also help ease your child’s dental anxiety.
4. Set a Good Example
You are a role model for your child. Your thoughts, concerns, and attitudes will affect how he responds to anxious situations, and your involvement and calm will translate to security and calmness for your child.
I must make an important note, however: I advise avoiding bribery. Bribing the child to “not make a fuss, so you can get a treat” may actually increase his anxiety as he wonders what’s so bad about the dentist that he might want to cry or make a fuss. Sugary treats as a bribe also contradict the good dental behaviors you want to reinforce.
5. Start Early and Be Consistent
The earlier your child begins regular dental visits, the better. (I recommend scheduling your child’s first dental appointment around 6 months, or by his first birthday, at the latest.)
You decrease your child’s risk of developing dental anxiety if visiting the dentist has become a regular part of his life and earliest memories. You may even want to have a pretend visit with your child before the actual visit to lessen the strangeness and anxiety of the event.
If you’re still concerned that your child is anxious, try reading dentist-related storybooks to your child before a visit.
Additionally, once your child has his first dental visit, be sure to schedule regular follow-ups. Building a rapport with the dentist and the other clinicians, becoming familiar with the atmosphere of the office, and becoming more familiar with the rewards of regular dental visits will go a long way toward alleviating some of your child’s dental anxiety and preventing it from developing in the future.
6. Be Cautious When Taking Your Child to the Dentist With You
Most experts agree that taking your child to your own dental visits may be a very bad thing.
Instead of instilling calmness, your own unrealized anxiety, along with the sterileness of the adult dental environment, may have the effect of increasing your child’s dental anxiety. So if you want to take your child to the dentist with you, make sure you are free from fear of dental procedures yourself.
Conclusion
Your child’s oral health is important to his long-term well being, so establishing good habits early will translate to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. And, of course, seeing the dentist on a regular basis is one of the best habits to establish.
In order to make this an anxiety-free activity for your child, you’ll need to be proactive and sometimes creative. To recap, six ways to ease your child’s dental anxiety include:
Choosing the right dentist for your child
Not keeping upcoming visits a secret
Teaching your child how to find calm
Setting a good example
Starting early and be consistent
Being cautious when taking your child to the dentist with you
You can ease your child’s dental anxiety by making the activity a fun and enjoyable part of his normal life.

Thus, it is very important that you seek out a dentistseek out a dentist who is attentive to the needs of children in order to help ease your child’s dental anxiety.
Dentists who have children of their own, for instance, are more likely to be tuned in to the needs of children and may be more sensitive to the things that may potentially induce fear.
2. Don’t Keep Upcoming Visits a Secret
Children need predictability in their life, so letting your child know of an upcoming dental visit in advance will give him time to mentally prepare for the visit. Allow your child to ask questions and express his fears. Answer his questions with straightforward, to-the-point answers while limiting the amount of details you include. Talk to your child about the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth and the rewards and benefits of regular dental care.
3. Teach Your Child How to Find Calm
You can employ relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to slow down your child’s physical reaction to anxiety (i.e. increased heart rate, etc.). Emphasizing the positive aspects of proper dental care and regular dental visits will also help ease your child’s dental anxiety.
4. Set a Good Example
You are a role model for your child. Your thoughts, concerns, and attitudes will affect how he responds to anxious situations, and your involvement and calm will translate to security and calmness for your child.
I must make an important note, however: I advise avoiding bribery. Bribing the child to “not make a fuss, so you can get a treat” may actually increase his anxiety as he wonders what’s so bad about the dentist that he might want to cry or make a fuss. Sugary treats as a bribe also contradict the good dental behaviors you want to reinforce.
5. Start Early and Be Consistent
The earlier your child begins regular dental visits, the better. (I recommend scheduling your child’s first dental appointment around 6 months, or by his first birthday, at the latest.)
You decrease your child’s risk of developing dental anxiety if visiting the dentist has become a regular part of his life and earliest memories. You may even want to have a pretend visit with your child before the actual visit to lessen the strangeness and anxiety of the event.
If you’re still concerned that your child is anxious, try reading dentist-related storybooks to your child before a visit.
Additionally, once your child has his first dental visit, be sure to schedule regular follow-ups. Building a rapport with the dentist and the other clinicians, becoming familiar with the atmosphere of the office, and becoming more familiar with the rewards of regular dental visits will go a long way toward alleviating some of your child’s dental anxiety and preventing it from developing in the future.
6. Be Cautious When Taking Your Child to the Dentist With You
Most experts agree that taking your child to your own dental visits may be a very bad thing.
Instead of instilling calmness, your own unrealized anxiety, along with the sterileness of the adult dental environment, may have the effect of increasing your child’s dental anxiety. So if you want to take your child to the dentist with you, make sure you are free from fear of dental procedures yourself.
Conclusion
Your child’s oral health is important to his long-term well being, so establishing good habits early will translate to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. And, of course, seeing the dentist on a regular basis is one of the best habits to establish.
In order to make this an anxiety-free activity for your child, you’ll need to be proactive and sometimes creative. To recap, six ways to ease your child’s dental anxiety include:
Choosing the right dentist for your child
Not keeping upcoming visits a secret
Teaching your child how to find calm
Setting a good example
Starting early and be consistent
Being cautious when taking your child to the dentist with you
You can ease your child’s dental anxiety by making the activity a fun and enjoyable part of his normal life.

How To Teach Hamster Cage
***Animal Legal rights: How we take care of pets displays who we are Versus a purely organic see, no creature inherently incorporates legal rights over and above that which it contains the electric power in the direction of impose. What is equipped in direction of endure does, what won't be able to does not. Nevertheless our planet is not particularly biology. It is ethics as very well. “Could possibly will make instantly” can not be the doing work paradigm inside of a planet in which flexibility, compassion, humanity, and take pleasure in are preferred. Nor are we taken out versus thing to consider of the legal rights of other creatures merely considering that we are spending someone else in direction of crank out medicine, smell a deodorant, or increase our meals. People with the electric power in the direction of hire their technologies toward have an impact on and handle the world wide as a result greatly and deeply are continuously confronted with moral alternatives. Progressive existence is not a make a difference of mere survival as it was anytime we have been inside of the wild. It is an chance toward create and develop as introspective, fragile, and moral us residents. For illustration, going for walks inside of the woods will take no suggestions, still powering in just website traffic does. Ingesting against a movement is not a trouble, still damming the move and flooding 1000's of acres is. Breaking down brush with our fingers towards generate a lean-in the direction of for shelter is a person factor, nevertheless denuding the world with equipment is fairly an additional. On the lookout pets inside the wild for foods working with just ingenuity, energy, and rate is a issue completely compared with wiping out total populations with rifles (for ‘match’) or with our city encroachment. Farming pets toward feed a inflammation inhabitants is crucial, nevertheless denying them any sort of organic or first rate lifestyle, or subjecting them in direction of abuse or cruelty is not a immediately we can declare. Dwelling inside the wild would Offer pair moral possibilities. Reasons and philosophy consist of a route of using a again seat whenever lifestyle is eaten with working day-towards-working day survival. However an highly developed lifestyle with just about unlimited technical functions is an additional subject. Our power at present in the direction of basically cage and handle just about every creature upon the entire world and pretty much ruin the Planet’s lifestyle-serving to entire world upon an World-huge scale desires alternate options and moral obligation. The very first selection towards be produced, it would seem to be, is no matter if we need in direction of endure below lengthy phrase or not. Assuming the solution is indeed, we should really choose fiduciary accountability for the world and its internet of everyday living. Still it does not close there, as some humane and inexperienced actions would search toward argue. Within purchase in direction of endure we really should as well consider the life of the plant and animal meals we eat. That is a truth we facial area, and, assuming we desire in the direction of endure, it is not a make a difference of ethics. Upon the other hand, our regulate and routines towards other residing factors—like our foodstuff—do Deliver ethical solutions. It as well makes a temper, if by yourself will, environment the tone for how we deal with just one yet another. If we track down it uncomplicated toward handle everyday living with insensitivity, it is a little phase toward handle 1 yet another the identical direction. If we expand treatment, compassion, and decency out in direction of the loosen up of the global, we are significantly a lot more possibly towards handle fellow human beings likewise. Killing pets or vegetation for pleasurable or simply since we consist of the electrical power toward do thus is neither sensible nor moral. It is a kind of psychopathic routines that threatens the world-wide-web of existence on which we rely and desensitizes us towards the well worth of all daily life. All those who choose happiness within the ache, discomfort, and dying of other creatures, or justify it simply because of hard cash in the direction of be designed, threaten civilization alone. It is not that Terrific a jump for all those who behave in just this course in direction of grow comparable insensitivity toward people. Would we in its place reside future doorway in the direction of a person who results in habitat for wild creatures within just their back garden and stay-captures residence mice in direction of fixed them cost-free outside, or an individual who stomps upon any bug they perspective, chains their canine toward a stake inside the backyard, yahoos concerning taking pictures songbirds versus their window with a pellet gun, and hunts for trophies leaving carcasses toward rot? It is not a coincidence that serial killers from time to time comprise a heritage of torturing and killing pets (1). Creatures elevated for food items really should not be handled as almost nothing extra than output techniques, limited thus as towards by no means check out the mild of working day, and then be dealt with and slaughtered inhumanely. They must be elevated kindly within just a free of charge and open up natural environment exactly where they could love the existence they incorporate. Arguably looking ought to be reserved for the singular motive of acquiring food items, not for the fulfillment of killing. If there is possibility in the direction of exhibit compassion, why not consider it alternatively than abuse and exploit merely due to the fact we comprise the energy toward do as a result? Experts and a lot of the community justify animal experimentation as demanded in just acquire in the direction of identify condition remedies, consider contaminants, watch mascara security, and consequently upon. I am reminded of an practical experience within just a toxicology system. The lesson for the working day was in direction of demonstrate how topical products and solutions could possibly be screened for security. For a demonstration, the professor retained a rabbit through the nap and area some drops of a chemical within the rabbit’s eye. The rabbit squealed and struggled inside of ache. It was a depressing point in direction of look at. As times went via we ended up detailed the development of the caustic chemical upon the rabbit’s cornea. The serious ulceration that resulted was ugly and the suffering the rabbit was experiencing was intestine wrenching. In direction of this working day I don't forget vividly and regret that I compensated tuition for this pointless cruelty—despite the fact that towards present any response at the period risked remaining seen as unscientific and psychological, a definite no-no in just health-related educational institutions. The lesson in direction of be uncovered in opposition to this pathetic clearly show of human insensitivity was that noxious chemical compounds will ulcerate and dissolve eyes. How profound. There wasn’t a pupil in just the program that could possibly not incorporate guessed the result right before the macabre demonstration was finished. The legitimate takeaway was that existence may possibly be taken care of with overlook. If we wished-for towards be Excellent physicians we necessary toward suck it up, place apart foolish compassion and bravely mutilate daily life for the sake of the improved Excellent of medicines. Torture apart, these experimentation is unwanted and very rather embarrassingly sloppy science. All those who take part within just it develop into desensitized towards pain, get rid of compassion, and discover in the direction of hone the means of obtuse excuse. Health care experimentation on pets is unwanted for the reason that each species reacts towards toxic compounds, medications, and even operation otherwise. For that issue, every single affected individual is choice biochemically. What may possibly be correct for 1 goose is not for a gander. Hence a medical end result in opposition to a lab within which countless numbers of mice, canines, or monkeys are tortured does not supply certainty more than an affect inside of people or inside of other species. Organic variations skew all good results (2). Aspirin will cause delivery problems within rats however not within human hamster accessories beings. Individuals and guinea pigs want vitamin C inside the diet plan nonetheless highest other creatures manufacture it on their own. An opium dose that will eliminate a human is protected in just puppies and chicks. Allylisothiocyanate will bring about most cancers within the guy rat, yet may perhaps not within the girl, or inside of mice. Penicillin will get rid of a guinea pig still perhaps conserve the lifetime of a particular person. Highest medication, nutrition, and toxic compounds incorporate a opposite impression: a advantage at just one issue is a chance at a further. Measuring this sort of factors is around extremely hard (3). Even kindness in just the lab can modify good results as confirmed through atherosclerosis (the centre assault component) getting low via as a great deal as 60% within just rabbits that are taken care of, in contrast in direction of people disregarded (4). The position is that no person understands all the factors every time conducting this kind of analyze. They can simply manage for some, wager at all the other folks, and then produce an extrapolation, a large jump within just religion timed specially in direction of happen in advance of the funds operates out. This is the explanation medication transfer in the course of yrs of Food and drug administration trials at a charge of 360 million hard cash, and then can destroy and maim Though unveiled toward the populace. However, these heartless experimentation carries on in just the popularity of science and the guarantee of therapies. It’s a humiliation. Utilizing a minor logic, or other laboratory equipment these as tissue tradition insider secrets, may perhaps as effectively contain led in the direction of the exact selections acquired towards animal experimentation. For case in point, scientists made use of 24,000 mice towards demonstrate that 2-acetylaminofluorene was carcinogenic. Primarily based upon genetic context logic, by yourself or I may well contain informed them the end result devoid of caging or torturing a single mouse. Why would a artificial chemical these as this not be damaging? What is highest disheartening is that the end result of all the animal experimentation is not treatments. Quite, there are thousands of hundreds of maimed and killed individuals who obtained into the defective science of these kinds of ‘tested’ prescription drugs. Animal studies delivers us medicines with aspect penalties, dependencies, prescription faults, cross-reactions, and removing of signs or symptoms whilst the lead to of the condition carries on. Animal experimentation is a poor concept at its commence and a tragic catastrophe within train. The distinguished concept is that our planet, such as all of its creatures, is a mere device for our exploitation. That is irrational if extensive-time period human welfare is in the direction of subject and denies that human beings contain a substantial explanation than could generates straight.
