Dentist in Poway Provides Tips on How to Overcome Your Dental Anxiety – A+ Family Dentistry San Diego County | General, Cosmetic and Emergency

Dr. Justene Doan • October 26, 2015

If you get stressed and anxious at the mere thought of visiting your dentist, you are not alone. There are many common reasons why people are afraid or anxious to visit dentists in Poway, such as the belief that treatment or services may cause pain or a general fear of the unknown. Some people may simply dislike going to the dentist, but others may have such significant anxiety that they fail to get the treatment and dental care they truly need. Learning how to conquer your fear is important to your overall health.

The Benefits of Regular Oral Health Care

If you are not visiting the dentist regularly for routine care and other treatments that may be needed, you could be missing out on the benefits that regular care can provide. With regular treatment and exams from your dentist, problems related to tooth decay, gum disease and more could be identified early. Prevention and early treatment can generally yield great results for many, and this could prevent the need for more significant dental services, such as crowns, implants and more if current issues worsen. You may also benefit from cosmetic dental services to improve the look of your smile and to give you enhanced self-confidence.

Overcoming Your Fear

For some, simply understanding the benefits of regular dental care may be enough to encourage regular treatment. However, if your fear is still getting the best of you, consider scheduling a consultation with a dentist. You can meet the staff members, learn more about the services and treatments you may receive at a future visit and improve your comfort level in that environment. Some dentists in the local area, such as Dr. Justene Doan DDS of A+ Family Dentistry, have considerable experience dealing with patients who share the same fears you may have, and they may be able to help you overcome your fears.

While dental fear and anxiety is unfortunately common, it also is detrimental. Dental health can impact your whole body health in various ways, so it is important to take great care of your teeth and gums. Routine dental visits are an important part of oral health, and you can work with your dentist to overcome your current fears.
