Children from religious based and public schools were transported to the clinic. Raw fear was communicated amongst the children. Interestingly, I’ve encountered people from all over the world who were treated in similar circumstances resulting in extreme dental fear. I feel that a lack of parental support, and supervision, as well as authoritarian treatment, were key factors. Lifelong fears were instilled for these early school-age kids.
While former Guggenheim patients may never forget their memories, a series of good experiences as adults can help. Discussing these experiences with a trusted friend or professional is also beneficial.
