Discover How We Can Relieve Your Dental Anxiety

I love to figure out, do my patients want to know everything that's about to happen? Or do they want to know nothing about what's about to happen because there's quite the range in what people want to know. I do love teaching people and so if they want to know step by step, before we even begin, before I lean them back, I will talk them through what I'm going to use. I always let them know all of our little dispensers look like needles. They're not. And so I just like to know how much do you want to know? My staff members, same thing. We can show pictures if they want to see pictures and we can also just give them our dark tinted glasses so they don't have to see anything if they don't want to see anything. I also like to work with patients if they have several fillings they need but they're very anxious, we can start with just one. We can pick the smallest one, just get them through that first visit and typically even my high anxiety patients, we earn their trust. They realize that we are there to make this as comfortable as possible and the next appointment is just easier and easier.

Frequently Asked Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe the more you prepare at home, the better your dental experience will be. If you start to feel anxious about your dental work, take six to 10 deep breaths slowly. Doing so will help you relax and lower your heart rate. It also helps to picture yourself lying back comfortably in the dental chair. When it comes time for your appointment, you can also use these techniques in our office.

Why is relieving dental anxiety important?

It's important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
