Dental Anxiety

Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety or fear of the dentist is very common. People with dental anxiety generally avoid the Dentist which causes dental disease to spiral out of control; eventually affecting a person’s general health.

Dealing with dental anxiety begins with communicating your fears to your dental provider. From there, recommendations can be made to help ease the anxiety. Nitrous oxide is a gas which helps to alleviate anxiety. There are other stronger medications which can be prescribed after discussion with your dentist.
