Dental anxiety is nothing that a patient should be ashamed of. In fact, there are very few people that march into a dental office without some degree of nerves. You are definitely not alone if you put off checkups, or dental procedures, out of fear of pain and discomfort. Many dentists are beginning to take the phobias of their patients seriously, by ensuring that they provide an office that will put even the most fearful minds at ease. Your Greenfield dentists, Drs. Bagley, Goodwin, and Hrinda, describe some of the efforts we have made to offer our patients a relaxing and pleasant dental experience.
A Friendly Staff Puts Patients at Ease
When you’re feeling apprehensive, sometimes it just takes a warm, smiling, friendly face to calm the nerves. Our office staff and doctors put forth the effort to make you feel comfortable the moment you walk through our door. Communication is paramount in setting someone’s mind at ease, so we are open to answering any questions you might have. Feel free to express your concerns and even your fears. There is no worry that won’t be taken seriously. We will also explain the instruments and procedures to you, as we understand that fear of the unknown is the biggest part of dental anxiety. If you know that you are well taken care of, and understand the methods and procedures we’ll be using to keep your smile attractive and healthy, you’ll be amazed at how pleasant going to the dentist can be.
Extra Amenities for Patients with Anxiety
Have you ever been to a dental office that provides blankets in case the temperature is too cool for you? Does music calm you? Would it ease your mind to know that your dentist was embracing all of the latest and most comfortable dental technology? If blankets, headphones, heated pillows, and knowledgeable dentists are not enough to quell your anxiety, it’s okay. We can also help you with sedative pre-medication which will make you relaxed and comfortable during your entire dental treatment.
