Dental anxiety is something that is very common and I think that’s the first thing I try to share with patients that have a lot of it, that come to see us at our office. Sometimes even just getting the patient in the chair is a huge win and I just try to come from a place of meeting the patient where they’re at, understanding what it is that gives them the most fear or anxiety about the dentist, discussing that with them and in treating every patient a little bit unique and just customizing the experience for them that makes them the most comfortable. Here at this office there’s a few different things we can do whether that’s you know as simple as giving them extra pillows or blankets or playing music, giving them headphones, those are things that we try to provide here at the office to just create a calming environment for them and then sometimes patients require different treatment modalities that help them get through treatment whether that’s nitrous oxide or the laughing gas that sometimes helps patients that have anxiety.
We also offer oral sedation through the office so patients can take medication that helps them to relax, feel more comfortable at the office and those are treatments that I found with my patients that are most anxious we usually can find a way to get them comfortable enough to where we can pursue the treatment that’s necessary to get their their oral health back in a position that’s suitable for them long term.
