A Dentist Lawrenceville Trusts
A 2014 study conducted by Delta Dental revealed that more than half of their clients experienced some amount of nervousness or fear before dental office visits, and an estimated 15% of US adults cite dental phobia as the reason they avoid the dentist’s office. For many patients, visiting the dentist is associated with bad experiences from the past, and it’s no surprise that aphorisms that reference the dentist typically have negative connotations. For instance, “It’s like pulling teeth,” is used to describe tasks that are difficult or painful, and “I’d rather have a root canal,” is a sarcastic way for a person to say they don’t want to do something. If you’re one of the 40 million Americans who experience dental fear or anxiety, there is good news. At Transforming Smiles, Dr. Bruce E. Carter and his dental team offer sedation dentistry services to help fearful or anxious patients relax and receive the oral health care they need.
