Dental Anxiety

What Is Dental Anxiety?

Dental anxiety is a feeling of fear, stress, or unease about visiting the dentist. It’s incredibly common—many people feel nervous before or during dental appointments, even if the procedure is routine.

This anxiety can stem from:

  • Past negative experiences
  • Fear of pain or needles
  • Loss of control or embarrassment
  • Sensory triggers like the sound of drills or the smell of a dental office

For some, dental anxiety is mild. For others, it can lead to avoiding the dentist altogether—which may cause dental problems to worsen over time.

The good news? We’re here to help. With compassionate care and calming amenities, we make your comfort a priority every step of the way.

Comfort-Focused Care for Dental Anxiety

We understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many patients—but it doesn’t have to be. At our office, your comfort is just as important as your care. That’s why we offer thoughtful amenities designed to help you feel more at ease from the moment you arrive.

Pillows

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. A soft pillow can help you feel more grounded and relaxed—like you're resting safely in your own bed.

Blanket

Whether you're chilly or just need an extra layer of comfort, our cozy blankets are perfect for calming the nervous system and helping you feel more secure during treatment.

Noise-Canceling Headphones

Don’t want to hear the sounds of a dental visit? You don’t have to. Tune out the noise or escape into your favorite playlist with our noise-canceling headphones.

Netflix on Overhead TVs

Why not catch up on your favorite shows while we take care of your smile? Our treatment rooms feature overhead TVs with Netflix, so you can focus on your entertainment—not your nerves.
