Feeling anxious about visiting the orthodontist is completely normal, and there are steps you can take to ease your fears:
Communicate Your Concerns: Let us know about your anxiety. We are experienced in dealing with nervous patients and can provide reassurance.
Schedule a Consultation: Book an initial consultation just to meet us, see the environment, and discuss your concerns without any procedures.
Ask Questions: Knowledge can alleviate anxiety. Ask about the procedures, what to expect, and any potential discomfort.
Bring a Friend: Bring a friend or family member for support.
Relaxation Techniques: Practice deep breathing or other relaxation techniques before and during the appointment.
Distraction: Bring headphones and listen to calming music or an audiobook.
Choose the Right Orthodontist: We specialize in treating anxious patients and have a friendly, understanding demeanor.
Consider Sedation: In severe cases, sedation dentistry might be an option. Discuss this us.
Remember, your comfort is important, and our goal is to make your experience as positive as possible.
