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.

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.
