Emerald Dental Care
Our team understand some patients may experience anxiety, stress and nervousness when going to the dentist. Dental anxiety usually arises due to a negative experience in the past. This can be associated with certain triggers such as the sound of the drills, the needles, or the dental setting in general. Our highly experienced dentists have worked and treated many patients in this category, and very often after a few visits the patients become very comfortable returning for further treatment with minimal distress.
Unfortunately dental anxiety can result in a cascade of events. Patients who are scared visiting the dentist will delay or avoid seeking treatment. Usually the problem(s) starts of small. With dental anxiety, the delay in seeking treatment can potentially result in larger, more severe problems including infection and facial swelling.
At Emerald Dental Care in Hampton Park, our experienced dentists understand and display a high degree of empathy towards our patients. To help keep our patients relax, we may offer “Happy Gas” or “Laughing Gas”.
