Do you dread going to the dentist? If you do, you’re not alone. People with dental anxiety may experience symptoms such as rapid breathing, increased heart rate, sweating, and nausea. They may also have a strong desire to avoid dental care altogether. If you’re feeling lost, panicked, or scared, we’re here to help.
Some people may be afraid of going to the dentist because they don’t know what to expect. They may be unsure of what procedures will be performed and may be worried about how they will feel during the appointment.
Many people are afraid of experiencing pain during dental procedures. They may have had a negative experience in the past or may simply be scared of the instruments used by dentists.
Being in the dentist’s chair can make some people feel vulnerable and out of control. They may be afraid of feeling helpless or unable to communicate their needs to the dentist.
People can feel anxious about dental appointments because of the potential sights, sounds, and smells they might experience.
The first priority at our dental office is to create a warm, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere for our clients. This includes ensuring our dental staff is friendly and approachable. Additionally, we play calming music, use relaxing scents, and provide comfortable seating for patients.
Not only do we provide you with specific details about the procedures, but we also tell you what to expect and how to best prepare for it. This can help to alleviate fears of the unknown and give patients a sense of control.
At Healthy Smiles, we can offer a variety of pain management options, including topical anesthesia, local anesthesia, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This can help to reduce the fear of pain and make the dental experience more comfortable.
