Fearful Patients
Fear is the main reason people avoid the
dentist. Understanding, empathizing, and
taking steps to minimize this fact is
important to us at Delmarva Dental
Services. We have treated many an adult who
had developed this fear as a child. This is
why we take special care to make children's
visits pleasant.
One of the features at our office is a
“Client Interview” that is used at a
patient’s comprehensive exam. Many of the
questions we ask during the interview are
about specific dental fears like, needles,
sounds, etc. We also ask questions about
your previous good and bad dental
experiences. From this interview we can take
steps that are customized to your specific
needs.
Some of the “relaxers” we have available at
Delmarva Dental Services are pre-numbing gel
before shots,
nitrous oxide (laughing gas),
oral sedation,
stereo headphones, massage
chairs, neck pillows, and blankets. We have
plenty of anesthesia to make sure you are
totally numb. Also, our philosophy is that
you are the one who determines whether you
are numb during a procedure not us.
It is just as important to us that you feel
comfortable coming to Delmarva Dental
Services, as it is that we complete your
necessary dental treatment.
Take our quiz and find out how anxious you might
be at the dentist.
