Fear of Dental Procedures

I always take my time with patients, using special techniques to keep them comfortable. I understand the feeling of being anxious about dental procedures and will encourage patients to get regular checkups to avoid gum and tooth problems before they require extensive treatments.

Previous Negative Experiences

Many patients come to one of our dentists in Lincoln, NE with stories of painful dental procedures they have received in the past or express their fear of needles. We want to assure you that we will always ask you questions to help understand your fears and concerns before we begin treatment. We respect that it is YOUR smile, YOUR health, and YOUR choice.

Embarrassment

Patients who have been unable to receive regular oral care for many years tell us they are too embarrassed to see a dentist because of past experiences with providers ridiculing or belittling them. We know that time slips by quickly, and before you know it, years have gone by since your last dental visit. We care about your health and want to give you the care you deserve.

Gentle Dental Care: Overcoming Dental Fears With Compassionate Dentistry

As your dentist, it is important for me to hear about your past experiences so that I can make future dental visits better for you. I enjoy learning about you and can promise you that I have heard similar concerns from many other patients. Also, I am sympathetic to your anxieties and understand and value your decision to improve your dental health.

I care about my patients and want to give them healthy smiles for life. Before starting treatment, I always explain the steps of the procedure and give patients the opportunity to ask questions. I will explain everything in non-technical terms to ensure you understand everything.

My team and I strive to provide a relaxing environment to improve your dental experience. Our office plays relaxing music, offers movies or television with headphones, and uses aromatherapy. We also offer sedation options to ensure your comfort during your time with us. We always apply a numbing gel to the gums prior to injections to minimize discomfort for patients. We perform this procedure carefully and slowly, reducing the pressure to the tissue. This helps make your experience as pain-free and comfortable as possible.
