Our Comforting Environment & Sedation Options Will Help You Relax

Sometimes it’s the small things that make a big difference in relieving stress at the dentist. Our team takes this into consideration for every patient who works up the courage to visit us. For example, we make sure our appointments run on time so you don’t have to wait – and build up anxiety in the process.

Fear of the unknown can also be a big trigger for dental fear. We’re incredibly patient when it comes to explaining anything you’d like to know about your visit. We won’t make you feel like you’re wasting our time. Don’t be afraid to speak up if you have questions. That includes letting us know if something makes you feel discomfort – we’ll do our best to adjust to keep your care as gentle as possible.

If you just need someone to hold your hand during a procedure, our staff will be there for you. You can even ask for a longer appointment if you need more time to take breaks so you don’t feel overwhelmed. 

As comforting and gentle as our staff members are, many of our patients need a little extra help relaxing. Some people simply cannot lie back comfortably during their dental visit without some form of sedation. For this reason, we offer you two levels of soothing sedation:

  • Inhaled Sedation – This method of sedation works well if you have mild dental anxiety. Your nervousness will diminish shortly after breathing in laughing gas.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – For a stronger level of sedation, you take a small pill before your appointment. By the time your procedure or exam begins, you’ll feel completely relaxed from head to toe. 

Don’t put off your dental care because of fear! Come to the experts at relieving dental anxiety in Harlingen by calling 956-450-7375 today. You can also make an appointment if you prefer.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?

If you suffer from dental anxiety, we would be glad to help you through your fear. Our staff is fully trained to offer compassionate and gentle care to each patient, helping ensure a relaxing visit you will feel good about. If you have special concerns or requests, we’ll be glad to accommodate you if at all possible.

What can you do to relieve dental anxiety?

Our experienced team is fully trained to listen to all your needs and answer all your questions so that you’re completely comfortable. If there’s anything you need to help ease your nerves, just let us know, and we’ll do what we can to help. We also offer two forms of dental sedation to eliminate your anxiety: inhaled sedation with laughing gas and oral sedation using a small pill.

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe the more you prepare at home, the better your dental experience will be. If you start to feel anxious about your dental work, take six to 10 deep breaths slowly. Doing so will help you relax and lower your heart rate. It also helps to picture yourself lying back comfortably in the dental chair. When it comes time for your appointment, you can also use these techniques in our office.
