Do you feel nervous or stressed about your upcoming dental treatment? Well you’re not alone; in fact, almost 30 percent of the population experiences "dental phobia" when faced with visiting the dentist! This fear can prevent patients from getting the treatment they need. But it's also important to remember that postponing your dental visit can result in more treatment, which will just reinforce your fear of the dentist.
To help you relax at Gentle Dental Associates, we offer Nitrous Oxide Gas and are also able to prescribe medication prior to your appointment that will lessen your anxiety. There is no shame in being afraid, we are here to help you get the treatment you need. For more information about how you can overcome your fear of the dentist, please visit the DENTAL ANXIETY page on our website or give our office a call.
Below is a video of our patient, Brandon Osborn, discussing how he overcomes his dental anxiety when he comes in for an appointment.
