Overcome Your Anxiety & Keep Your Smile Healthy

One cause for anxiety about the dentist is a previous bad experience. If you have ever visited a cold dentist in a clinical-looking office, you may feel uncomfortable about your dental appointment. But as our patient, you’ll feel at home when you walk through our doors. Our comforting office with a fireplace and homey atmosphere eases most nerves immediately. You’ll also appreciate:

  • Sedation Options – We have sedation available to you: laughing gas or oral sedation. Your dentist will discuss which will work best for you. Oral sedation does require you to have a ride home after your appointment.
  • Advanced Technology – Your dentists have invested in technology for easier visits. For example, digital X-rays capture detailed images of your mouth without exposing you to as much radiation. Intraoral cameras allow us to show you what we see inside your mouth. That way, you can easily understand our treatment recommendations.
  • Comforting Amenities – Sometimes the small touches make the biggest difference. We’ll offer blanket so you can get cozy in the chair. We’ll also give you a warm towel at the end of your appointment. You’ll leave our office feeling refreshed.

Call 763-401-6430 if you need help with relieving dental anxiety in Anoka. You can also request an appointment online.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?

Yes, we would be more than happy to help you through your dental anxiety. Over the years, we’ve been able to help thousands of patients relax so they could receive much-needed dental care. Our staff is trained to be as calming and compassionate as possible, and they would love the chance to help you, too.

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

Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.

Do you know how to relieve dental anxiety?

We’re happy to talk with you about strategies for relieving dental anxiety, such as coming up with a signal (like a raised hand) that indicates you need to take a short break during your appointment. Many patients feel less anxious in our office, which feels more like a home than a hospital. Plus, we offer two kinds of dental sedation if you need it.
