First of all i want to give some important details about why some people afraid of dentists (as i draw a conclusion).Afraid of the dentist?
Many people feel anxious at the prospect of seeing the dentist and, for some, their fear prevents them from visiting for years. However, most practices are sympathetic and various methods of help are available.
Why we're nervous??
An unpleasant experience in the past may be the cause of the anxiety. Other common concerns include fear of injections, the anaesthetic not working, concerns about unnecessary treatment and anxiety about cross-infection...
If your anxiety is very strong you may wish to explore some of the following approaches:
Relaxation techniques:
Sedation
Hypnosis
Psychotherapy
Acupuncture
While i was talking my dentist for my research he told me about these techniques, because i am also one of the people who afraid of dentists.However there are many ways for us that we did not try because of our fears..
What is dental phobia exactly? (research usa)
Dental phobia is the serious, often paralyzing fear of seeking dental care. It has been reliably reported that 50% of the American population does not seek regular dental care. An estimated 9-15% of all Americans avoid much needed care due to anxiety and fear surrounding the dental experience. This translates to some 30 - 40 million people so afraid of dental treatment that they avoid it altogether.
In terms of your dental health and overall well-being, this can have serious ramifications. Besides chronically infected gums and teeth which can affect your medical status, your ability to chew and digest can be seriously compromised. Without healthy gums and teeth, your speech can be affected as well. Your self confidence can be compromised if you are insecure about your breath and smile. This can lead to serious limitations in both your social and business environments.
I realised one more thing while i was searching about dental care, the most people cares about their smile i mean their beautiy..Dental care is related whith cosmetics, beauty, smile etc..
The other important point is the new technology..Many people do not know about the new equipments because they never go their routine cares so they dont have the ability to see the new technology..I want to share my research about lazer tec.
The most intresting design is the lazer system, only the use light to do the operation:) the photographs i attached are lazer equipments..
You see the dentist is not a monster, the equipments are not destroyer and the chair is not the electric chair, and taking an appointment is not like to have a meeting with the devil:) (check the photos i attached u will understand:), (chair is my design, dentist is my dream dentist and equipments are real:S



On the next step i will send my interview with people...

umututku has some great images of the research maps we created, can you post them up. Please also up date us on how they are developing, post a day? This is so that over time it will create a diary, progress and journal of thinking and research that you can reflect on.
This blog will be marked as part of your Design Research Module which will conclude with a final written report, which will also be marked.
This blog needs to reflect, practise, feedback, sessions and visual work development! please post and update.
Your tasks for the first 3 sessions have been to:
Task 1: set up blog, post an example of 2 design projects you are interested in. One from your native home and one british designer. You may want to spend some time looking in journals to get a current design flvour and culture in this country.
Task 2: Take an aspect of your chosen RSA brief and show how one idea might be developed through a research process or series of questions.
This might look more like a time line
Task 3: Make contact with 2 organisations, individuals or charities who you may collaborate or offer support or expertise for your chosen RSA project.
Make a posting each day which shows how your research map has developed durring this week. 7 postings intotal. Please add coments and feedback to the visuals.
I hope this clarifies
See you Friday,
Amanda
