Understanding Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety can be a complex issue. It affects people differently. The range of emotions it can trigger is wide, from mild apprehensions to intense fears. Some people are most concerned about the pain and discomfort they may experience during dental procedures. Some people may be anxious about going to the dentist due to negative experiences they have had in the past. Dental anxiety can also be caused by a sense of loss of control, feelings of vulnerability or even a general fear of the unknown.
Dental anxiety is not unusual and can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. It also impacts individuals with varying levels of dental health. This anxiety may have serious consequences that go beyond delaying dental care. This anxiety can lead to poor oral hygiene, untreated dental conditions or even a complete lack of dental care.
Dental Arts of Catoosa understands the complexity of dental anxiety and we approach it with expertise and empathy. We know that every patient has different fears and triggers. That's why we create a supportive and safe environment for you to feel heard and understood.
We strive not only to provide excellent dental care but also to address and work through any underlying fears and anxieties that could keep you from reaching optimal oral health. We can work together to develop strategies that will help you overcome your dental anxiety and restore your confidence in dental treatment.
