Many people experience anxiety and fear when visiting the dentist. Our dentists and team are dedicated to making your experience with us as positive as possible, and we make every effort to help you feel comfortable and to relieve your fear so that you can receive treatment without stress.

Dental anxiety and fear may manifest in a variety of ways, ranging from mild worry and stress to debilitating fears about specific procedures. Our team is here to help you manage anxiety and fear. Here are a few tips:

• Speak with our dentists and team. If we know you are anxious, afraid or uncomfortable, we can take special precautions to help you.
• Use calming techniques, such as controlled breathing or finding distractions in the room around you.
• Listen to music. This can give you something else to focus on and block out the sounds of the dental office.
• Ask our dentists about sedation options to help you relax.
• Ask about alternative treatment options. Dentistry is always advancing, and there may be treatments that provide the same results using different methods.

We are committed to helping you enjoy a healthy mouth and smile, and we never want fear or anxiety to prevent you from receiving needed care. Give us a call today to learn more about managing dental anxiety and make your appointment with our dentists!
