Our Team Will Help You With Relieving Dental Anxiety in Georgetown

Relieving dental anxiety in Georgetown is an important part of your oral health. If you suffer from anxiety, you’ll likely avoid coming to the dentist for routine care like dental exams. This means problems like cavities or gum disease can go undetected. It can also lead to worsening oral health issues that may require more extensive restorative procedures. We’ll help you conquer your dental fear with:

  • An experienced team who knows how to put you at ease
  • Two kinds of safe dental sedation
  • A pain-free method of administering anesthesia
  • A comfortable office atmosphere with staff that cares about your smile

Stay Comfortable While Receiving the Smile You Deserve

Our office has a relaxed vibe that should help put you at ease. We never judge you for the state of your smile, but focus on giving you comfortable care that restores your oral health and rebuilds your smile. We also use dental technology that takes the discomfort our of your procedures. Here are some ways we invest in your comfort:

  • Comforting Amenities – Feel at home with warm blankets and neck pillows. You’ll also remain happily distracted with TVs and headphones.
  • The Wand® – Many people dislike the sting from the needle used to deliver a numbing local anesthetic. This handheld instrument painlessly delivers the anesthesia. Even better, your lips and tongue won’t feel funny following your procedure.
  • Air Abrasion – We can use air abrasion instead of a drill to treat small areas of tooth decay. Unlike a drill, there is no heat, friction, or whining sound. It works almost like a tiny sandblaster, using compressed air to aim a stream of particles at the decay.
  • Sedation OptionsWe can calm your nerves with one of two forms of sedation: laughing gas or an oral sedative. If you choose oral sedation, you’ll need to arrange for a ride home.

Let us show you how we can help with relieving dental anxiety in Georgetown. Call 843-492-5026 for an appointment today. You can also schedule online. Our office is especially convenient if you live or work in ZIP code 29440.

Are there steps at home I can do to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe the more you prepare at home, the better your dental experience will be. If you start to feel anxious about your dental work, take six to 10 deep breaths slowly. Doing so will help you relax and lower your heart rate. It also helps to picture yourself lying back comfortably in the dental chair. When it comes time for your appointment, you can also use these techniques in our office.
