Dental phobia is a more serious condition than anxiety. It leaves people panic-stricken and terrified. People with dental phobia have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but are unable to do much about it. People with dental phobia usually go to the dentist only when forced to do so by extreme pain. If you suffer from dental phobia, our doctors at Alta Loma Dental Care will ease your dental fear in a compassionate, friendly atmosphere.
There are varying degrees of dental anxiety and phobia. At the extreme, a person with a dental phobia may never see a dentist. Others may force themselves to go, but they may not sleep the night before. It's not uncommon for people to feel sick — or, in some cases, to actually get sick — while they're in the waiting room. New dental tools and products make it easier to calm dental anxiety; however, to truly calm your fear, a little distraction goes a long way. iPods for your listening pleasure, big-screen televisions, iPads and virtual reality glasses that put your eyes and mind in another realm are common items in the modern dentist’s office.
If you have a fear of the dentist’s office, please inform us while scheduling your appointment.
