We want you to be as relaxed as possible throughout your treatments which is why we perform treatments with the use of local anesthesia with the option of dental sedation so your worries will be at ease and you can relax knowing you’re in good hands.
If you suffer from dental anxiety, there are a few ways you can prepare for the treatment, including:
- Bring headphones to distract yourself from the noise
- Choose an appointment time that allows you to arrive without feeling rushed
- Take regular breaths throughout the procedure– some patients tend to hold their breath
- Avoid caffeine prior to your appointment
Dr. Hoffman will be in close communication with you throughout the procedure to ensure you feel relaxed and pain-free.
