Are you afraid of the dentist?
Fear of the dentist (dentophobia) is common, and there’s no need to be ashamed of it. It may stem from bad experiences at the dentist or even from unresolved trauma that has nothing to do with dental care—or it may not.
However, it is possible to overcome a fear of the dentist. Even if you can’t completely get rid of your fear, there are many options available for receiving treatment in ways that cause less anxiety. Neglecting dental care and oral health is, in the long run, a more frightening and dangerous option.
Attentive and Caring Dental Care
Oral care is inevitably an intimate matter that requires a strong bond of trust between the patient and the treating professionals. At Ebeling Dentists, our staff proceeds at the patient’s pace and explains in advance all planned procedures as well as what they can expect them to feel like. Unexpected situations and sensations play a significant role in dental anxiety. Our staff has received much praise for their ability to read the situation and for their gentle handling of anxious patients.

Anesthesia options and pain-free methods
Many dental procedures, such as root canal treatment, have a reputation for being scary. Today, however, nearly all dental procedures can be performed completely painlessly. A skilled dentist selects the most appropriate anesthesia method for each situation. New technologies and tools, such as the use of ultrasound for tartar removal, have also made many procedures that were once painful even pleasant.
