Many things can trigger dental anxiety including the office environment or tools like drills or needles. Our team of compassionate dentists at Diggers Rest Dental House understand patient concerns and can help with techniques to help you feel calmer while keeping your treatments as stress-free as possible.

Anyone May Experience Dental Anxiety
Children may experience dental anxiety due to current tooth pain or pain during a past dental treatment. They can also pick up cues from other family members who have had negative dental experiences and transfer the anxiety to themselves. Our recommendation for children is to bring them in for their first visit while they are young and before they have any dental problems, so they learn that the dentist is there to help them avoid pain, not create it. If they already had a negative experience, our staff is skilled with children’s dentistry and can help find ways to make their visit a more pleasant one.
Adults suffer from dental anxiety for a number of reasons including past negative experiences or fear of treatment after allowing a dental problem to get worse. The following are common reasons why one may be affected by dental anxiety:
