As a dentist, one of the daily challenges I face is managing the anxiety and discomfort of patients. Despite all the advances in technology and pain management, many patients still come in with a lot of fear about dental procedures. This can make it really difficult to work efficiently and effectively. I wish there was a way to completely eliminate or at least significantly reduce this anxiety from the start. Whether it's through better communication, advanced sedation options, or innovative techniques that minimize discomfort, finding a solution that helps patients feel more at ease would make the entire process smoother and more pleasant for everyone involved.

Flaw in current process
One flaw in the current process of managing patient anxiety is that not all patients respond to traditional sedation or comfort measures, and some may still experience significant fear despite these efforts. This can lead to an inconsistent level of patient comfort and potentially impact the effectiveness of dental procedures.
