What is Dental Anxiety?
Dental anxiety is the fear of visiting the dentist. This anxiety can manifest in many ways and can result in a mild fear when visiting the office to panic attacks related to receiving care. Our goal at Adkins Family Dentistry is to provide you with a relaxed, comfortable experience when being seen. We offer many different dental options, including sedation, to help your appointment with us go more smoothly.
Why Might You Have Dental Anxiety?
In many cases, dental anxiety is a lifelong problem that manifests during childhood. If you’ve ever had a bad experience in a dental office, this only perpetuates the cycle of fear. Many patients who are afraid of visiting the dentist put off receiving care and often allow smaller dental problems to get worse because of not seeking adequate treatment. The fear of the unknown or of experiencing pain is a major problem for those who are afraid to visit the dentist.
