Having a fear of the dentist is a problem that is all too familiar for many Americans. This is a leading reason why many people, even those with dental insurance, avoid visiting the dentist. This leads to a vicious cycle for those who only visit the dentist when they are facing extreme pain from unresolved dental issues. By the time they get to the dentist, the problem has become so bad that fixing it is costly and even painful, which reinforces the fear that kept the person from visiting the dentist in the first place.
Our goal is to stop this cycle by making our patient’s comfort a top priority. Debbie Grillo is an excellent example of a patient who came to us with dental anxiety. Watch the video to hear how she overcame this fear, and now looks forward to visiting Family Dental Innovations.
