Nervous Patients

If you are feeling nervous about an upcoming dental appointment, you are not alone. Dental anxiety is common and can have a long-lasting negative impact on your overall oral health.

That is why we strive to help our patients with dental anxiety overcome their fears and seek the treatment they need. Our friendly and welcoming team is well-versed in helping patients with dental phobias. Do not hesitate to talk through your fears with us. Often, discussing the procedure you are fearful of is enough to allow you to mentally prepare for it, assuaging your nerves altogether. In other cases, visiting the practice and seeing how comfortable and relaxed your surroundings are going to be can be extremely helpful. We have free on-site parking, a comfortable waiting room and friendly, experienced staff to help put you at ease. Our dental professionals will offer you support and reassurance every step of the way for total peace of mind. Here are some tips to help you overcome your dental anxiety:

• Arrive early for your appointment
• Talk with your dental hygienist or dentist about your fears
• Discuss the steps of your dental treatment with your dentist
• Wear headphones to block out sounds

Please don’t be embarrassed to tell us what it is you are afraid of or to tell us about any bad experiences you may have had in the past. Even if you haven’t visited a dentist in many years and are worried about the condition of your teeth, we will never be judgmental — all we want to do is help you. You can also bring a friend along for moral support if you need to.
