It’s not uncommon to feel anxious about your upcoming dental appointment. Many people share this experience. Yet, if this nervousness starts to interfere with your dental care, it’s crucial to seek appropriate support. At Kennedy Dental, we prioritize preventive measures to help you steer clear of more daunting and drawn-out procedures that might worsen your fear.

Even if you do need more complicated treatment, like restorative procedures, oral surgery, or dental implants, you can still expect a gentle, comfortable experience. We will go out of our way to help you stay calm and relaxed with:

  • Soothing Amenities – During your appointments, you can enjoy the kinds of amenities that will make you feel at home, such as soft pillows and warm blankets. We also offer leg bolsters to enhance your comfort while in the dental chair. Drown out the sounds of the office with a pair of headphones and listen to music or watch your favorite show on an iPad.
  • Modern Technology – We’ve invested in the most advanced equipment to make diagnostics and treatments easier and more successful. You will benefit from our use of modern technology like digital scanning and X-rays, intraoral cameras, dental lasers, and an AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master for guided biofilm therapy.
  • Sedation Options – Take your pick of either laughing gas or oral conscious sedation. With laughing gas, you can quickly take the edge off if you’re feeling nervous because it takes immediate effect. If you need more help feeling calm and relaxed or have a longer procedure planned, oral medication can be prescribed for you ahead of your appointment so you’re nice and comfortable in time for your treatment.

Relieving dental anxiety in Portland, OR could be the first step in turning your oral health around. Call Kennedy Dental today at 866-552-4346 or schedule an appointment.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety
Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?

We have a long list of patients who have come to count on our compassionate and calming team. They know they can trust us to deliver the most gentle and relaxed dental care they’ve ever received. Many of our once fearful patients have gone on to become lifelong patients because of our dedication to providing a positive dental experience. You can count on us as well.

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.

Why is relieving dental anxiety important?

Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
