Patient Anxiety

It is one thing for anxiety to affect your daily relationships, but when it starts to impact your overall health then it becomes a problem. Dental anxiety, or dental phobia, is much more serious than just getting sweating palms and sleepless nights before an appointment – it’s a paralyzing fear of dentists or dental treatment. Luckily at Southern Cross Dental our doctors have the tools, techniques, and gentle touch to help make regular dental visits as comfortable as possible for you.


The key to coping with dental anxiety is to discuss your fears with your doctor. Once he or she becomes aware of what your fears are, he or she will better be able to work with you to determine the best ways to make you less anxious and more relaxed. In addition, ask your doctor what’s happening at every stage of the procedure. This way you can mentally prepare for what’s to come.


If you suffer from dental anxiety, give us a call so we ease your fear. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.southerncrossfamilydentistry.com for more information.
