Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety
Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?
Yes, we would love the opportunity to help you overcome your dental anxiety and get the dental care you need. Our team is fully trained to help even the most anxious patients relax and feel comfortable in our dental chair. Over the years, many patients have benefited from our compassionate and relaxing approach to dentistry.
Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?
Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.
Why is relieving dental anxiety important?
Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
