We have the smartest patients. Here's a tip of the day thanks to one of our favorites. Patient had a crown come off and thought if he put it in a bag until he could make it here it could end up in the garbage.....unless he added a handy tool to the bag that would catch his attention. And just like that- the crown made it here to be successfully re-cemented! Genius patient (you know who you are ;)) thank you for the fabulous idea.

If you feel anxious, even really anxious, about going to the dentist, you're not alone—but it doesn't have to be that way. There are ways to get through it, both on your own and with the help of your dental team.

Do you dread going to the dentist? If so, you're far from alone—dental anxiety might be as old as going to the dentist itself, and some estimates of how many people suffer from it run as high as 50%. Extreme dental fear—dentophobia or odontophobia—can cause people to avoid going to the dentist even when they're in pain.

There are ways to work through your dental anxiety that can make the experience, if not exactly pleasurable, endurable.

Be open and upfront-
Patient anxiety is something all dental pros are familiar with, and we’d rather know about it right away. We’d also like you know your preferred way of getting through the appointment. Some people want to know exactly what’s happening; it helps them maintain a sense of control. For others, less is more.

Our dental team's number one goal is to deliver an excellent patient experience. Knowing a patient is anxious before we work with them helps us plan extra TLC time.

Try a distraction-
Many patients wear headphones during their appointments, and it’s an intervention we are familiar with and don’t mind. We also have tv's in our treatment rooms for you. We are happy to provide a warm blanket if it brings you comfort.

Bring a friend or loved one-
Some anxious people enlist the support of a friend or loved one to a dental appointment, and we are also open to this accommodation.

Consider pre-medicating-
If your anxiety won’t respond to other interventions, you can take an antianxiety medication or use nitrous oxide. Make sure you know how you react to a medication beforehand, and be sure to have a ride home.

We are here to help you through your oral health needs and look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Birthday Aaron! Here's a throwback pic I stole off of FB. (I'm fairly certain this will make him feel old) :) We are blessed to have this guy as a part of our amazing team and as a friend. We hope your day is wonderful!
