Many people do not seek regular dental care due to anxiety and
fear surrounding the dental experience. We recognize that your
anxiety is serious. Empower yourself with the knowledge of your
treatment procedures to alleviate fear of the unknown. You have
input into treatment decisions and choices. You should be honest
with your dentist regarding how much treatment you think you can
tolerate at first. As you build confidence in yourself and trust
in the team that is caring for you, the length of your appointment
and the amount of work accomplished will increase. We have a signally
system we will teach you that allows you to stop treatment whether
it is because you need more anesthetic, need to rinse out, or
just simply need a 2 second break. Practice relaxation techniques
such as breathing and distracted focus to help calm your body
and mind. We offer auditory distraction with headphones
if you wish. We also offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide provided you have a driver to take
you home from your visit. These methods will make you feel drowsy
and relaxed.
*Not all of our locations offer Nitrous Oxide so please call ahead and
confirm this IF you are uncomfortable with having dental procedures without
it.
