How do We Help Patients Overcome Their Dental Anxiety?
We manage to minimize anxiety during dental visits using several ways, including:
Communication: We can take the time to listen to patients' concerns and answer any questions they may have about our treatment. By providing clear explanations of dental procedures and what to expect during a visit, we help alleviate some of patients' fears and anxieties.
Sedation: We offer various forms of sedation to help patients feel more relaxed during their appointment. These may include oral sedatives, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or IV sedation.
Relaxation Techniques: Our team specializes in different approaches to manage your anxiety. Deep breathing, visualization, and progressive muscle relaxation are some of the ways that help patients feel calmer and more comfortable.
Distraction: Sometimes, we may include listening to music or watching a movie so you don't focus on what is happening with your teeth or gums.
