Dental Anxiety is Real

If you’re experiencing a little (or a lot) of anxiety about your dental appointment, we understand and we hope that the following can put your mind at ease:

First, patient anxiety is totally normal! Many people of all ages experience it. So rest assured that you aren’t alone and it’s not weird.

Second, it is very important to us that the office environment is a positive and calm one – for both patients and staff. With Dr. Favre’s reassuring nature, he fosters a supportive atmosphere where patients are encouraged to share any fears they may have. Understanding your concerns will help us ensure that you are comfortable throughout your entire visit. Whether you express worries or not though, Dr. Favre and your hygiene team always makes it a priority to provide the gentlest care possible.

Sometimes a simple conversation with us can calm your fears. In other cases, sedation is used to help you relax. No matter what route makes the most sense to you, we’re here to ensure your appointment is a positive experience.
