Solutions for Overcoming Dental Fear

Anderson Dental Care can help you get the care you need.

Dental Anxiety is Not Uncommon

In fact, some studies show that up to 75% of Americans experience some level of dental related fear and 20% avoid dental care because of it. If you have a fear of dental work, we want you to know that making you feel comfortable and safe at our office is our first priority.

We Can Help!

Whatever your individual level of anxiety may be, our office is committed to making sure that your visit is as comfortable, quick and easy as possible. There are many solutions for dental anxiety, and we are ready to help.

Here are a few popular methods for easing anxiety in the dental office:

• Communication:
  Informing us as to what you are afraid of is a great place to start. Often we can quell a fear simply by giving you correct or updated information. We will always keep you informed before, during and after your procedure, making sure that you understand what is going on and why we are doing it.
• Calming Techniques:
  Many patients find it helpful to practice controlled breathing or to find distraction inside the room.
• Listening to Music:
  With most procedures, the use of personal headphones and music is allowed. This is a great way to keep calm and pass the time while in the chair.
• Taking Breaks:
  Let us know if you would like to take a short break during your treatment by signaling with your left hand.

If You Need a Little Extra Confidence…

We offer local anesthetic and sedation for patients who prefer medical assistance in easing your dental anxiety. 

You can also ask if your procedure can be done using our laser therapy. Laser therapy is virtually painless and may not use drills or other painful tools that may be scary to patients. 

Oral health is important for the health of your whole body. Don’t let fear stand in your way of good dental care! We can help you get the care that you need. Call Today to Make an Appointment. Anderson Dental Care PC Phone Number (308) 384-0360
