Doctor Dave Dorroh on Relieving Dental Anxiety
If somebody is just totally terrified and they need a lot of dentistry, we’re going to start with fixing one tooth at a time and introduce them to dentistry if they’re afraid of it. If you establish a good rapport with your patients, make them feel comfortable and treat them gently and don’t hurt them. They relax, patients that come in and they actually fall asleep while we’re doing the dentistry.
No sedation at all. I feel like if the patient has great experiences, they have nothing to be afraid of because dentistry doesn’t hurt, if you do it correctly.

Absolutely amazing. He listened to my concerns, understood what I was telling him, then saw for himself the angst I’d been through for the past 5 years. He then fixed it with just a slight adjustment. Prior told me I’d get used to it. I slept all night without interruption for the first time last night without being awakened by excruciating headache, neck or jaw pain.

I was an emergency patient many years ago and I am so happy to be back with a Dentist that has my best interest in mind when recommending dental procedures. I always receive the very best care and service. Dr. Dorroh is everything you expect from a top-tier Dentist. If you haven’t tried Dr. Dorroh yet, what are you waiting for? Dentistry care with your smile and health in mind.

Long story short. Had a dentist in Tomball tell me I needed to pull 2 front teeth and do implants because of failing root canals. Over 12,000.00 I was quoted. Decided to come see Dr. Dorroh for a second opinion. This dentist gave me hope and referred me to a root canal specialist who was able to save my teeth. Dr. Dorroh was compassionate and has an excellent bedside manner. His office staff is also very warm and compassionate. His office is also very clean and tidy. Highly recommend him for your dental needs.
A. M. (Verified Patient)
The entire staff genuinely cares about each patient’s well-being; from the check-in to the goodbyes. Dr. Dorroh makes you feel as if you are his only patient of the day. He will spend however much time is needed to perfect his dental work. The knowledge and wisdom that he has is not something you can get out of a book. Can I give more than 5 stars?
N. M. (Verified Patient)
Doctor Dorroh is an excellent dentist. My entire family sees him for dental care and we cannot say enough about he and his office staff’s expertise and professionalism. The most thorough dental care hands down. After 8 years of seeing the same dentist that wasn’t that great and who constantly wanted X-rays taken, I decided to switch my care over to Doctor Dorroh. Upon the very first visit, he discovered a rather serious and obvious issue that somehow my other dentist didn’t notice. To be honest, if it weren’t for Doctor Dorroh, this issue, if gone unchecked, would’ve had most certainly severely impacted my overall health. I don’t think folks realize the critical affect that oral health has on the rest of the body, certainly the cardiovascular system. So to anyone looking for the best of the best in dental care, myself and my family couldn’t speak more highly of Doctor Dorroh and his team!

I broke a tooth a few days ago. The dentist I used in the past had moved and I had not yet found a new one. I called Dr Dorroh’s office and due to the urgency they got me in right away, even though I was a new patient. Dr Dorroh and all of the staff I interacted with while there were very kind and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Dorroh’ s dentist practice. You will be in good hands.

Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
Our experienced team is fully trained to listen to all your needs and answer all your questions so that you’re completely comfortable. If there’s anything you need to help ease your nerves, just let us know, and we’ll do what we can to help. We also offer two forms of dental sedation to eliminate your anxiety: inhaled sedation with laughing gas and oral sedation using a small pill.
Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.
