If you get anxious just thinking about your next Adelaide dental appointment, you're not alone. Dental anxiety is common, but at My Dentist, we’re committed to helping you manage it.
We fully recognise that receiving dental care can be incredibly stressful, which is why we take great pride in being able to accommodate even the most dental-anxious patients. If your dental anxiety prevents you from making or attending your dental appointments, we have practices in place at our Norwood clinic that can help you cope.
We can offer extra support by extending your appointment's length to ensure ample time is built in for rest.
We allow our patients to take low doses of valium before their dental appointments to help ease the anxiety some may experience during dental procedures. It is a modern alternative to nitrous gas, commonly used in the past.
With over a decade of industry experience, we are committed to providing our Adelaide patients with dentistry service in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.
Dental anxiety is the fear, stress, or anxiety associated with a dental setting that can delay or prevent dental appointments. It’s common for the drills, needles, or the dental clinic to trigger dental anxiety.
If any of the following describes you, dental anxiety may be a problem.
Dental anxiety does not discriminate; it’s familiar and can affect people of all ages.
It is commonly seen in those who may have had bad dental experiences throughout childhood. However, in most cases, people can work through it if they are well-cared for and supported throughout their dental visits. That is why finding the right Adelaide dental care team is paramount.
At My Dentist, we are committed to providing our clients with a dental environment that is welcoming and where our patients feel safe and comfortable. We understand that each patient is different, so we will never take a cookie-cutter approach to dentistry.
Our Norwood dentists take the time to ensure you are well aware of what’s happening throughout your appointment, ensuring you are comfortable with every step and taking breaks when required.
If you have dental anxiety and avoid the dentist, it can result in potential dental issues getting worse, potentially increasing the need for emergency dental care or more complex treatments.
Most dental diseases are avoidable. By ensuring you receive regular dental cleans and checkups, you can aid in the prevention of dental disease as well as highlight dental issues early, meaning that less invasive treatments are required.
Look no further than the Norwood dental team at My Dentist. We understand the importance of feeling confident with your smile while in the dental chair. We will always take the time to listen and understand our patients, caring for them in a welcoming and non-judgemental environment.
