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.
