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.

Dr. Dorroh is the very best Dentist I have ever met. I’ve been going to him for about 16 years now and wouldn’t trust anyone else. Not only has he helped me and my family with all of our dental needs, the care and compassion he’s given me feels like he treats me like he would treat his family. He’s an exceptional dentist and has an amazing staff! I’m blessed to have him as my Dentist.

R. T. (Verified Patient)
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.

Friendly staff, skilled Hygienists, nurses, and the best Doctor around. Dr. Dorroh is thorough and meticulous. He takes time to explain xrays and the details of what care is required. 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.

Wonderful. Dr. Dorrah fixed my tooth problem.
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.
