Beating Dental Fear
At Palmetto Smiles we take our time to create an entire treatment based on your personal needs. During your consultation, we encourage our patients to disclose if they are suffering from any dental fear or anxiety. We can work with you to find techniques and methods to cope with your dental fear.
Tips for dealing with dental fear:
- Listen to music or an audiobook during your treatment
- Ask question. Ask your dentist about all aspects of your treatment, so you get a better understanding of what to expect.
- Bring a friend. If there is someone you can count on to help you feel at ease, bring them to your appointment for support.
- Consider sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry may be utilized to help you feel at ease and comfortable throughout your treatment.
We take the time to educate our patients about all aspects of their treatment to ensure they are well informed and comfortable with their plan. Our Florence dental office is equipped with the latest technology and amenities needed to help you feel at ease during your visit.
For patients with advanced dental fear, we recommend sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry helps patients feel at ease during their treatment. Sedation dentistry also allows your dentist to perform multiple treatments during one visit. To determine which form of sedation is right for you, your dentist will perform a full comprehensive exam and review your medical history.
