Doctor Dustin Mayrand on relieving dental anxiety
Read Transcript
If a patient's considering sedation or has dental anxiety, I always like to sit down with the patient and discuss exactly what they're anxious about. Is it the numbing, the shots, or is it the dental work in general? Is it the drill? Or there's various things that patients have maybe had bad experiences in the past, and everyone always, usually has their story of why they've become anxious about going to the dentist.
And so we see that a lot. We've become pretty good at handling patients and their anxiety. And I think, pinpointing that thing that makes them anxious and discussing more and allowing the patient to know what to expect during the procedure, and then talking about our various sedation options, if needed, really helps the patients feel comfortable coming into their appointment.
- An office tour on your first visit to give you a chance to get acquainted with our caring team and comfortable surroundings.
- Three sedation options.
- Patient-friendly technology like lasers, so your care is quick and comfortable.
- Lots of amenities, including fresh-baked cookies and hand massages.

Feel at Ease With Dental Sedation
We also offer three kinds of safe dental sedation that allow our patients to completely relax and feel at ease. We offer only inhaled sedation for children. Adults can choose from:
- Inhaled Sedation – This gas mixture is inhaled to cause relaxation. It’s great for nervous kids or patients with just a little bit of dental anxiety.
- Oral Sedation – This medication is taken orally to offer a heavier level of sedation. It’s used for longer procedures or for patients with a greater fear of dental work.
- IV Sedation – This level of sedation produces a sleep-like state. We use it for long or complicated procedures or for people with a great fear of visiting the dentist.
