If you’re
nervous about having to sit through a lecture on the importance of
dental health, you can stop worrying. We’re not here to cause you
anxiety or point fingers. Trust us, we of all people know that dental
health is affected by a number of factors that could be environmental,
hereditary or habitual. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy,
beautiful smile.
This might surprise you, but there’s almost nothing that
can surprise us when it comes to teeth. If you think your teeth are bad,
we’ve probably seen worse. A large part of our training and
professional work involves being exposed to just about every dental
problem you can imagine. Without that kind of experience, how could we
properly evaluate your teeth and treat them? We couldn’t.
One of the most important things you can do is to be up
front with us. If you have dental anxiety, don’t silently suffer in the
chair – tell us! The same goes for anything specific that might scare
you – whether it’s needles or anesthesia or just sitting in the chair.
And please tell us what we can do to make your visit more comfortable.
Many people find that a blanket and pillow makes their visits much more
relaxing. Others like us to explain what we’re doing before we do it.
And some people find that taking frequent breaks is helpful.
Let’s talk about what you need before you talk yourself out
of scheduling another visit. We’ll do whatever we can to ensure that
you have a positive experience getting the dental care you need.
