There are few environments as negatively associated in expectation as a dental clinic. Hygienic and sterile atmosphere, the classical “white colour range” and last but not least the typical smell are very much connected with a feeling of a physical and psychic state of emergency and even abuse. Against this background we should be urging for a radical new understanding of hospitals in general and specifically dental clinics – away from negative prejudices towards an atmosphere of art, well being and relaxation.
The goal is to let patients forget about their fears and relax in a way they would usually expect from a Spa, from Cafés, Restaurants or Hotels. Why not embellish the reality, that a dental clinic provides beauty, health and “wellness”? The visit at a dentist could be seen as a little journey into well-being with agreeable aspects, especially if the frightening “drilling” is becoming more and more a side-treatment next to services such as consultation, preventive check-ups, beauty treatments, dental care and alternative practitioning.
