If you have a fear of the dentist, you’re not alone. Many people have lots of anxiety before getting in the dentist’s chair, worried the procedure will be painful. However, the team at Dr. Batz & Weiner Family Dentistry wants you to be as comfortable as possible. We work to be as gentle as possible during periodontal exams. Most patients report no or minimal discomfort. If you’re still apprehensive about the exam, be sure to ask us about sedation dentistry.
