ABSTRACT
In recent months the world’s population has been exposed by the pandemic advent of COVID-19 to an emotional challenge caused by the risk of health disturbance, death encompassed, and the real or latent risk of disruption of personal and global socioeconomic steadiness. Individuals on the other hand, receive day-to-day information of varying connotation in relation to truthfulness and opportunism, exposing them to decision-making uncertainty regarding welfare, as well employment and productive subjects. At the dental scheme, this is happening with: patients, employees, providers and professionals themselves. The widespread reaction that brings this myriad of threatening stimuli is fear, where other emotional, sentimental and behavioral expressions, secondarily occur. In this new reality, disparate the fear in all and any participant of the dental practice concept should be the strategy applied for dental activity recovering; being the key word, safety. Concept that should not be represented exclusively by the implementation of sanitary actions and warnings, but in a conspicuous manner by communication of this safety concept and the induction of positive stimuli by means of emotions and feelings that could reach the affective mind of patients, and the working group –unconscious mind–.REFERENCES
