Dental Anxiety FAQs
What if I feel anxious even thinking about making an appointment?
That’s completely normal. Start by calling our office and letting us know. Our caring team can walk you through what to expect and reassure you before your visit.
How can I calm myself during the appointment?
Bring headphones to listen to music or podcasts, practice deep breathing, and let us know if you need a pause; we’ll adjust for your comfort.
How do I know if sedation dentistry is right for me?
If your anxiety makes it hard to sit through treatment, conscious sedation may be the right choice. We’ll talk through your options and help you decide what feels best.
What happens if I cry or panic in the chair?
We’re trained to handle those moments with compassion. If you feel overwhelmed, we’ll pause, check in with you, and adjust until you feel safe again.
Can dental anxiety ever fully go away?
For some, yes. For others, it becomes manageable over time. Consistent, positive visits and open communication are powerful tools in reducing anxiety.
