Dental Fear

More people are afraid of the dentist than most. There are many things to reduce your stress, fear and anxiety while seeing the dentist. For instance communication is key. When you go for your first visit ask questions. Believe it or not we see people like you all day. You are not alone. Check out  the office. Is the office friendly and clean? Did you feel comfortable with the people operating the front desk, the hygienist ,the dental assistant, and the dentist? Make sure you were provided with a treatment plan so you are aware of all costs. Ask if you can bring an Ipod, or something to relax you during your treatment. Don't be afraid to speak up. We are catering to you and your comfort is important.
