Don’t like going to the dentist?? Did you know that 9%-15% of Americans feel the same way? That breaks down to about 30-40 million people, so if you think you’re alone, you’re not!
Any phobia can cause an unreasonable fear about a situation or object. Those with dental phobias have a higher risk of developing gum disease, early tooth loss, and many other dental problems because they may avoid going to the dentist.
Want the good news?? Dental phobia, like any other phobia, can be treated! You should tell you dentist any concerns or fears you may have at the initial appointment, so that they can be properly addressed.
At Shamblott Family Dentistry we help patients overcome their fears by changing the way they are treated. We are your "no fear" and "no shaming" dentists. Come and give us a try!
Did you know that an estimated 20-30% of adults are afraid to go to the dentist? And another 40-50% of people are fearful of going to the dentist. Most dental phobias come from bad experiences during childhood.
Extreme dental phobia can prevent people from going to the dentist and many dental phobic patients find dental treatment easier with sedation.
At Shamblott Family Dentistry, we offer many non-sedation options; such as: DVD glasses, headphones, blankets, pillows, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). In addition to that, we also provide an option for IV sedation with a nurse anesthetist.
