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.

I was only in town for a brief time and wasn’t able to book an appointment in advance. After my permanent retainer broke and caused some discomfort, I called and, within 30 minutes, I was already in the waiting room filling out paperwork to be seen. The staff was absolutely amazing! They quickly took care of the issue, relieved my discomfort, and had me on my way within about 10 minutes. Everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about my well-being. Thank you so much for making what could have been a stressful situation such an easy and positive experience. I truly appreciate everyone who helped me!

I cannot put into words how incredibly grateful I am to have found Dr. Dorroh, and his incredible staff! I presented to this office late on a Monday with a major dilemma. I was experiencing severe tooth pain and was due to travel for my cousins wedding in less than 72 hours. The level of care that I received here was stark in comparison to my previous experience elsewhere. With almost no notice, Dr. Dorroh carved out the time to see me late in the evening. During our visit, he identified a molar that needed an extraction, and said he could fit me in the following day. Out of compassion for my pain, he offered to numb my mouth to provide me a few hours of relief for the night. Afterwards, I went to pay and was told it was no charge. The kindness showed to me was overwhelming!

The staff treats you like family, Dr. Dorroh is a top notched dentist who will make sure your teeth and bite are correct before you leave the office. He does not pressure, nor does he lecture. He does educate you on the processes and treatments needed. I have been a patient for 20 years, when I retired and moved 110 away, I make the trip to see Dr. Dorrah for my dental needs. He is that good

I was nervous having to find a new dentist after mine retired, but I definitely found the right one. I was having problems with my denture implants being loose, and he went above and beyond to get them repaired. He took the time to explain everything in terms that I could understand, and his whole staff is phenomenal.

Fantastic, friendly staff and efficient dental services. Ruth, the dental hygienist was excellent. The office is in the heart of historic downtown Tomball in a quaint little building but honestly just the right size for their quality services. Highly recommended! Go see Dave, you won’t regret it.
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.
