Everyone knows a friend or family member who fears to go to the dentist. This fear can be the result of previous traumatic experience or often the fear of the unknown. People with this fear will do just about anything to avoid sitting in a dental chair.
One of the easiest ways to overcome this fear is by scheduling a new patient exam for the initial visit. During this appointment, an exam and X-rays will familiarize the dentist with a patient’s entire oral health, as well as address any additional health conditions, concerns or questions. Understanding your oral health needs and voicing concerns allows patients to make educated decisions and anticipate a plan of action thereby lowering fears.
This type of initial visit will ensure a pain-free encounter and make patients feel at ease for any future dental needs. End the fear of going to the dentist today by scheduling an appointment with our dentists in Gainesville.
