SECFilms in the Media: A Groundbreaking Solution for Dental Anxiety

Did you know?

Addressing dental fear is essential for maintaining good oral health and quality of life, especially as people age.

SECFilms is gaining significant attention in the media as an innovative solution for dental anxiety. With dental visits being a source of stress for millions, SECFilms is proving to be a game-changer. Featured in various health and wellness publications, SECFilms is being recognised for its ability to provide relief for those who experience overwhelming fear at the thought of a dental appointment. The film's unique approach, grounded in psychological principles, has shown to help reduce anxiety effectively, making dental care more accessible for patients who might otherwise avoid necessary treatment.

Recent trials have yielded impressive results. In a study conducted with participants experiencing moderate to severe dental anxiety, SECFilms led to a significant reduction in anxiety levels. From an average dental anxiety score of 4.1 (on a scale of 1-5) at the start of the trial, participants reported a dramatic improvement, with scores dropping to an average of 1.7 after just 90 days of using the SEC Film intervention. This decrease in anxiety means fewer people are avoiding dental care, leading to better overall oral health and a more comfortable experience in the dental chair.

The media buzz surrounding SECFilms has sparked interest from dental professionals and patients alike, with many recognising the potential of this digital tool to revolutionise dental care. As more reports emerge, the SEC Film continues to garner praise for its simplicity, effectiveness, and the promising results it offers to individuals who have long struggled with dental anxiety.

• Is dental anxiety a complex mental health issue?

• Can the tool be used in conjunction with CBT?

  Yes, digital tools can complement Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These tools provide accessible, self-guided interventions that help reinforce relaxation techniques, gradual exposure, and positive reinforcement strategies.

• Can anyone comment on the tool’s effectiveness, even if they are a mental health professional?

  No, only individuals who are directly involved in the study or have been approved for commentary are authorised to speak about the tool. The tool is a part of a collaborative research program led by the University of Queensland (UQ), a highly credible institution in academic and research fields. The study is focused specifically on dental anxiety and is being led by two highly qualified professionals: one is a professor with a PhD in dental public health, and the other is a qualified dentist with expertise in prosthodontics.

  The tool was designed to address dental anxiety, not complex mental health issues, and commentary should come from professionals directly involved with the study. Commenting without a clear understanding of the tool’s purpose can create unnecessary confusion.

  The research is conducted under the expertise of UQ and the leadership of dental professionals, and we ask that only those with a proper understanding of the study and its goals provide feedback.
