Dental Anxiety
Treatments to Enhance Your Confidence

Dental anxiety

Is when you feel nervous
Dental anxiety is when you feel nervous, worried or uneasy about going to the dentist. You may have low or moderate levels of anxiety - where you feel anxious but can cope - or your levels of anxiety may be high or extreme. If you get extremely anxious about going to the dentist, you could have a dental phobia. This is when you have a persistent and intense fear of the dentist.
We strive to make our Irvine Endodontics office a comfortable environment where you will be sure to leave with your tooth pain addressed and a smile on your face
What causes dental anxiety?
Your dental anxiety may be caused by a bad experience you had when you were younger, or as a result of other people's anxiety influencing your own thoughts and feelings. If you are unfamiliar with the dentist, this may also cause anxiety.
  • seeing or hearing the dentist's drill
  • seeing or thinking about needles
  • pain
  • blood
  • choking or gagging
Tips to help with dental anxiety
If you have dental anxiety, make sure you tell your dentist. If your dentist knows how you're feeling, they can make a special effort to help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Your dentist will talk you through your appointment or procedure and answer any questions you may have. I you're unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask your dentist to demonstrate things.
What is it?
Dental anxiety ranges from mild uneasiness (experienced by many of us), to acute anxiety/panic attacks. When a person will not visit the dentist despite needing treatment, they can be said to be suffering from dental phobia. The particular fears of visiting the dentist vary from person to person.
Dental Anxiety and Phobia
The first step to a smile makeover is scheduling an exam with our Chandler cosmetic dentist.
