You are not alone
Dental anxiety is a common problem, affecting an estimated 75 percent of the population. For about 20 percent of people, it is severe enough to cause them to avoid unnecessary dental treatment. We understand that getting over dental anxiety is a challenging process, and we want you to know that we are here for you. Our top priority is making sure that you feel safe and comfortable.
Learning how to deal with dental anxiety
Unfortunately, there is no instant solution. However, with the right team on your side it is possible to reduce your stress and receive the treatment that you need. The first step is communication. Although we watch for signs of dental anxiety in our patients, it is best if you let us know about the issue. Do not hesitate to ask about the details of a procedure, potential risks, or anything else that is worrying you. Often, honest, and accurate information can ease the stress. You can feel confident knowing that we will not judge you, and we will not pressure you to proceed with a treatment plan before you feel ready.
