Why does going to the dentist give me anxiety?
Feeling nervous before a dentist appointment is common and affects nearly 40% of the population. Many people fear the unknown—wondering if their treatment will be uncomfortable, how long it will last, its cost, and whether it will be successful.
At Edge Dental Design, we specialize in helping patients with dental anxiety. We believe in fully informing you about your procedure and involving you in your care. From start to finish, we prioritize your comfort, address all your concerns, and ensure you feel empowered throughout your visit.
Why we’re committed to reducing your dental anxiety
When dental anxiety is present, the most common response is to simply not go to the dentist. It’s a natural reaction to want to avoid these unpleasant feelings completely. Unfortunately, this can lead to poor oral care overall and even worse dental problems, including:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Tooth loss
We want to help you be proactive in your care. When you keep your routine exams and cleanings and address problems when they’re small, you’ll be faced with fewer procedures and fewer dental expenses down the road.
