Take a look at some of our tips on how to deal with a dental phobia, and then it’s up to you to take that important first step by making an appointment!

Tips for Dental Phobia

• Bring a friend or relative to your appointment. A trusted companion will help you feel more secure, and having someone to talk with can help keep your mind off your appointment.
• Make your appointment early in the day. That way, you won’t spend the whole day worrying about your visit.
• Don’t tell people about your appointment beforehand. They may bring up their own dental fears or negative past experiences. Fear is contagious!
• Tell us about any fears, concerns or special requests! We have some very effective treatment techniques and are here to help you!
