At Goodall Family Dentistry, we work hard to help our clients feel comfortable in our care and encourage you to talk with our team about concerns or questions you have. Keep reading to learn about common techniques that might also help you alleviate your fears.

Start Small: Start with routine check-ups or less-intrusive procedures. This allows you to become comfortable with our team and office. Gradually, we can talk with you about additional services that are needed and your feelings about moving forward.

Practice Mindfulness: Before and during your family dentist visit, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or visualization. These methods can assist in lowering anxiety and calming your nerves.

Try Diversion Strategies: During the process, bring headphones so you can listen to music, an audiobook, or a podcast. You can relax and avoid thinking about the dental work by engaging in distraction.

Educate Yourself: Gaining an understanding of the dental treatment might help allay your worries. We can answer questions you have about upcoming procedures to assist with this.

Conquering dental fear takes time, but with the strategies above and our skilled family dentist team by your side, you can get the necessary dental work done and enjoy your smile more. Contact our team today to see how we can help.
