Are You Nervous About Visiting The Dentist? We Can Help!
Do you need to visit our office for an oral hygiene examination or dental treatment but have been avoiding making an appointment due to nervousness? If so, you are not alone. Dental anxiety is a very real feeling and affects more people than you may realize. One of the biggest problems with not visiting our office due to anxiety is that you are opening yourself up to additional problems with your oral health that may require more time in our office. We want to share how we can help patients who may be struggling with dental anxiety. Read on to learn more.
Don’t Let Dental Anxiety Stop You from Getting the Care You Need
There are many people who experience dental anxiety when it comes to visiting our office and receiving treatment. Some patients struggle to even pick up the phone and call the office, while others have more of a problem when in the office. No matter your feelings, we want to help you! Delaying dental care can lead to serious complications with your oral health. When you visit our office for routine dental care, we check your mouth for a variety of problems. If these treatments are avoided, any problems in your mouth will continue to grow and develop, leading to the need for additional or more advanced treatments. Unfortunately, dental decay is not something that heals on its own.
Sedation Dentistry
We encourage you to be honest with our team about your feelings in regard to visiting our office for treatment. We never want your anxiety to stop you from receiving dental care. We offer sedation dentistry, which involves using medication to help patients relax while they are in our care. We offer three forms of sedation, based on the severity of your anxiety and the treatment we will be performing.
We want you to know that we offer no judgment about the state of your oral health or any feelings you may have. Our goal is to help you get the dental care you need. If you are interested in learning more about sedation dentistry for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to contact our office, which is located in Houston, TX, to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
