There are a number of people who get nervous, or even anxious, when they visit a dental office. Some people are fearful enough that they will even avoid going to the dentist at all costs. Does this describe you? Don’t worry; there are ways to ease your dental fears.
Preparation
Be prepared for your appointment by asking our dentist what to expect during your visit. If you like, our dentist can explain every stage of your procedure. You can also ask how things like injections are handled. This knowledge will help you feel more at ease.
Cues
Talk to our dentist about a sign, like raising your hand, that will let them know if you are uncomfortable. When you give the sign, Dr. David Tapani will stop working immediately.
Communication
One of the main keys to easing your dental fears is talking to our dentist in Davisburg, Michigan. Once they understands what your fears are, they will be able to work with you to make your visits more comfortable and relaxed. Knowing what your fears are will help Dr. David Tapani know what not to do.
Scheduling
Schedule your appointment for a time when you will not be rushed or under pressure. This may mean visiting MI Beautiful Smile early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Headphones
If the sound of dental equipment, like the drill, bothers you, wear headphones. Listen to your favorite music to forget about your worries.
