How do I deal with dental anxiety?

Visiting the dentist isn't easy for everyone, it can be stressful for most. At Hospitality Dental & Orthodontics, we want you to know that we understand and want you to have the easiest appointment possible.

A few tips to help you relax during your next visit are:

• Sleep early the night before to make sure you are fully energized the following day for your appointment
• Wear loose and comfortable clothing that won't restrict you from moving
• Vocalize your fears and let your dentist and staff know how you are feeling
• Take deep breaths or meditate to help calm your nerves

The more you delay your visit or simply don't show, it creates the higher risk of developing dental issues. Again, our number one goal is to always provide our patients with the best, gentle care and dental practice. If you or a loved one is dealing with dental anxiety or stress, these suggestions may help them during their next visit.

Please feel free to contact us today at any of our offices to book your next appointment.
