Dental Anxiety Tips For YOU!

With dentistry’s many advances, diagnosis and treatment is more sophisticated and comfortable than ever.

Here are some tips on how you can cut down your dental anxiety:

Share your anxiety. If you’re tense or anxious, tell your dentist and the dental staff. Getting your concerns out in the open will let your dentist adapt the treatment to your needs.
Help yourself. Choose a time for your dental visit when you’re less likely to be rushed or under pressure. For some people, that means a Saturday or an early-morning appointment.
Wear headphones. If the sound of the drill bothers you, bring headphones so you can listen to your favorite music. Some dental offices even show television or DVDs. During the dental visit you might try visualizing yourself relaxing on a warm beach.

These positive techniques work wonders for many. Try them on your next dental visit. And of course, call us directly to discuss further if need be!!
