Anti-Anxiety Dentist

Compassionate Care When You Need It Most

Why does going to the dentist give me anxiety?

If you get nervous before or during a dentist appointment, you’re not alone. In fact, dental anxiety is a problem for almost 80% of the country’s population.
The most common reason people have a fear of the dentist is that they don’t know exactly what to expect. Will the treatment be uncomfortable? How long will it take? Will it cost more than I expected? Will it be successful?
