TIPS TO REDUCE DENTAL ANXIETY

1. Schedule Appointment on the day when you are relatively free. You should not plan to rush in a meeting or an event on the same day of the dental appointment. This can create more panic and exaggerate the anxiety.
2. Talk to your dentist- You should convey your concerns to your dentist. The dentist will explain you the entire procedure that is to be done step by step. This will help you to be prepared for the procedure.
3. Bring someone along- You can bring a friend or a favourite toy(kids) when you are coming for a dental appointment. This will be especially helpful when the procedure involves tooth removal, dental injections, etc. Ironically, all these procedures have become completely painless owing to the advancements of dentistry.
4. Do not google- If you research all by yourself the dental procedures through google, it’s going to give you different types of reviews. These reviews are not always true. These reviews are by layman person and not necessarily by a qualified professional. 
5. Distract- If still you are not able to control the anxiety, you can distract yourself with your favourite music. You can do breathwork & meditation as well before the procedure if it works for you.

At the end just trust the process. The dentist is working for you to make your teeth look & feel better. For more information, you can contact us. We will be happy to help you and explain your dental treatment precisely.

Some expats are investing in the UAE as the ‘ideal place for retirement’

The Dubai Government recently announced a new savings scheme for expats working in the public sector. This has made expatriates hopeful of the trickle-down effect on the private sector, inspiring many to choose the place for retirement.

However, a recent survey global consultancy Mercer, reveals that many expats in the UAE don’t do enough to ensure a steady post-retirement life.

Nevertheless, some residents are actively investing in their future. Khaleej Times spoke to three such expats on investing and retiring in Dubai.

Golden visa holder, Dr Shams Tabrez Siddiqui, Founder and Managing Director, Crossroads Group of Dental Clinics and his wife who is also a dentist, started thinking about investing in a residential property three years after setting up their practice in the UAE.

“I have been living in Dubai for the past 13 years. As expats who came to the UAE to work, we always had it clear that the place where we work would be the place that we will call home. Most people come to the UAE with the intention to stay for a short period and keep renewing their visa upon expiry. For us, our goal had always been to make the UAE our nest.”

He added: “We have two properties. One is a flat on Sheikh Zayed road which was bought with the intention of making a passive income, and the other is land in Al Furjan, which will have a villa. The construction for the villa has already started and we aim to live in this place soon.”

He reiterates that Dubai is a safe haven, making it one of the most preferred destinations for expats across the world to choose it as an investment option.

“I have observed that people from around the globe who can afford it, opt for an early retirement to come, and settle in the UAE. For us, Dubai is a great place to live, work and retire. The government policies, procedures are simple and transparent as against any other country in the world. In addition, the government has always been a step ahead in introducing initiatives which make investing a seamless process.”
