We will try to just come to where they are, kind of relate to them, understand where they’re coming from, understand if it’s been past experiences that have been bad for them or given them this dental anxiety, that we really want to understand that and not just dismiss it. With that, we get to know their story, we get to know why they fear the dentist, and then we try to help them overcome it. We offer different techniques, we try to make it as pain-free as possible, we sometimes will even use eye masks to kind of put them at ease, let them pretend they’re off at a beach somewhere, use the blankets, use the noise canceling headphones.
Many times we find that if the noise is blocked out, that they’re not nearly as anxious and scared.

Common Questions About Calming/Soothing Staff
We prioritize personalized care by training our staff to use the most effective patient treatment techniques. In addition, our dentists stay up-to-date with the latest knowledge and best practices through ongoing education opportunities. Our staff are encouraged to embody our patient care values during every appointment.
We understand that dental appointments can be nerve-wracking, so we make it a priority to address any concerns you may have. We can also offer breaks during your appointment if needed. You will never be rushed or pressured into a procedure that makes you uncomfortable. By listening to your needs, we can recommend treatments that will effectively treat your oral health concerns and improve your overall well-being.
If you feel anxious during your appointment, we can offer you laughing gas or oral sedation to help you relax. Laughing gas is a safe and effective form of sedation that you inhale through a mask. You’ll start to feel more at ease within a few minutes, and the effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed. Oral sedation is a small pill you take before you arrive. It gives you a deep sense of calm throughout your visit. However, you will need to arrange for a ride home.
