We also take the time to explain the need for any procedures you are receiving while you are here and to answer your questions. It’s important you feel confident about your treatments and understand their purpose.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?

Yes, we would be more than happy to help you through your dental anxiety. Over the years, we’ve been able to help thousands of patients relax so they could receive much-needed dental care. Our staff is trained to be as calming and compassionate as possible, and they would love the chance to help you, too.

What can you do to relieve dental anxiety?

Our experienced team is fully trained to listen to all your needs and answer all your questions so that you’re completely comfortable. If there’s anything you need to help ease your nerves, just let us know, and we’ll do what we can to help. In addition to our comforting amenities, we also offer three forms of dental sedation to eliminate your anxiety: inhaled sedation with laughing gas, oral sedation using a small pill, or IV sedation for a sense of calm. Rest assured, though, we are an opioid- and narcotic-free practice.

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

Yes, there are. We believe a comfortable dental experience begins before you ever reach our office. If you find yourself getting nervous beforehand, take a few slow, deep breaths, picturing yourself lying back comfortably in your recliner chair at home. Then, when you’re in our office, you can use this same technique for any residual anxiety you might feel. We commonly recommend “box breathing” where you breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breath out for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and then repeat the process.
