TIPS FOR ENJOYING A
STRESS FREE DENTAL VISIT
1.Don’t be afraid to tell your dentist. The more he or she knows about your
anxiety, the more their dental team can
do to help you feel welcome and at home.
2.Avoid caffeinated beverages, as these
can increase your feelings of nervousness.
3.Avoid high-stress traffic situations
by arriving early to your appointment.
4.Find out if your dentist offers
nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.
5.Breathe deeply during appointment. By
breathing deeply, you can help yourself stay calm and relaxed while your
dentist helps your smile.
6.Find out all you can about your
treatment. The more you know the less afraid you have to feel about your own
oral care.
To find out more about how you can combat dental anxiety, call your dentist
with your questions. Dental anxiety is a real condition, but it doesn’t have to
keep you from having the kind of strong, healthy smile you’ve always dreamed
of.
