Dental anxiety and phobia can be managed through a combination of behavioral techniques, relaxation methods, and, in some cases, sedation or general anesthesia. Addressing dental anxiety often starts with communication and building trust with the dentist. For mild anxiety, relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and distraction methods can be effective.
When anxiety is more significant, dentists may employ oral sedation technique together with local anesthesia.
For surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia, we work with our anesthesiologist team in alliance hospital.
