Fear of the dentist and dental-related anxiety are quite common experiences for people of all ages. Sometimes the fear of visiting the dentist prevents patients from getting the regular dental care they need to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
As a result, those with dental anxiety often develop oral health issues that go undetected until they’ve progressed into advanced stages of disease. At this point, the problems require lengthier, more expensive, and more invasive treatments to resolve.
Our dentists want all patients to feel comfortable and at ease in our office regardless of their fears. We do our best to make every experience with us a pleasant and positive one. In addition to creating a calming office environment, we offer options for receiving dental treatments with sedation via oral prescription medications or nitrous oxide gas.
