Dental Phobia

What is dental phobia?

Dental phobia is the serious, often paralyzing fear of seeking dental care. It has been reliably reported that 50% of the American population does not seek regular dental care. An estimated 9-15% of all Americans avoid much needed care due to anxiety and fear surrounding the dental experience. This translates to some 30 to 40 million people so afraid of dental treatment that they avoid it altogether.

In terms of your dental health and overall well being, this can have serious ramifications. Besides chronically infected gums and teeth, which can affect your medical status, your ability to chew and digest can be seriously compromised. Without healthy gums and teeth, your speech can be affected as well. Your self-confidence can be compromised if you are insecure about your breath and smile. This can lead to serious limitations in both your social and business environments.

In order to serve these patients better, we offer I.V. sedation or sleep dentistry. We can combine multiple visits in one appointment for patients who either don't have time for lots of visits or just want to be totally unaware while being treated. This is a safe procedure that we have been performing for more than 15 years with extremely high patient satisfaction. Our doctors are extremely skilled in all phases of dentistry and provide these services with the utmost in quality and gentleness.

We Strive To Treat Our Patients Just Like Our Own Families!
