If you have a fear of the dentist in Las Vegas, you might be surprised to find out you’re not alone. Lots of people put off going to the dentist, even if they’re in severe pain. Why that happens is sometimes a mystery, but more times than not it’s due to a bad experience they’ve had at a dentist. We often think of children being afraid of the dentist, simply because of the fear of the unknown. Maybe one of their classmates had a bad experience and now they feel something similar will happen to them at the dentist. On the other hand, you’d probably be surprised at how many adults are truly afraid to pick up the phone and make a dental appointment in Summerlin.
Adults with a fear of the dentist in Las Vegas generally feel that way because they have been the ones who have had a bad experience with a dentist at some point in their life. Maybe it happened when they were children. Maybe they went to an inexperienced dentist, or one that was newly out of dental school. If that person was rough with them, or didn’t give them anything to numb the pain before they worked on them, that could be the issue as to why they won’t make that all important appointment.
When you come to Moore Family Dentistry, we will calm your fears and make sure you understand everything that will take place whenever a dental procedure needs to be done. If you still feel uneasy once you get into our office, we can give you peace of mind by doing a sedation dental procedure that will relax you enough to calm your fears while we do our work. Dental sedation is a wonderful way to ease your mind when you know you need to be in the dental chair for any length of time. In fact, some people are so worried whenever they come to our office that we will give them a sedation treatment before we do any type of procedure at all, even a regular exam.
