F.A.Q.
I have a fear of the dentist and anxiety about needles and/or dental injections.
There are no needles required to administer most of the treatments used at Madison No Fear Dentistry. Once any of these methods are used you'll be in a heightened state of relaxation and will likely be unaware when we administer a local anesthetic or IV Sedation. The result is an anxiety-free dentistry experience.
I have a fear of what the dentist or the staff will say about my teeth & my poor oral hygiene — and how humiliated I will feel.
The individuals you will encounter will treat you with care, respect and understanding. We are there to serve you and make you feel comfortable and relaxed!
I wasn't given anesthetic for a painful dental procedure in the past and I'm afraid it will happen again.
We will use the proper amount of anesthesia for your procedure and will continually monitor you to ensure that you remain comfortable and relaxed. We eliminate the pain and fear of going to the dentist and provide an anxiety-free dentistry experience.
I choke or gag very easily and I'm scared of embarrassing myself or even throwing up.
The sedation techniques we use relax both your mind and your body.
Madison No Fear Dentistry allows you to feel at ease in the dentist's chair, allowing your dentist to work in your mouth without you feeling the urge to choke or gag.
I have a fear of the dentist not stopping if I am distressed or in pain.
We are dedicated to ensuring you have a relaxed, comfortable, anxiety-free dental visit. Once you arrive at the dentist's office before your appointment, we will ensure that you are comfortably sedated. A dental assistant will remain with you while the doctor is working to continue to monitor you and your level of comfort throughout the procedure.
I'm worried that I will have a panic attack or start to cry or shake uncontrollably in the dentist chair and what the dentist/staff will think of me.
With most methods that we use, you will arrive at his office already feeling very relaxed and comfortable. If your level of comfort changes at any time, our highly trained staff will make the necessary adjustments to ensure you remain anxiety-free.
I can't sit still for long periods of time — I'm afraid I will get restless or have a strong reaction to feeling out of control.
Madison No Fear Dentistry techniques relax you into an almost "daydreaming" state of mind. Rest assured…you will be closely monitored to ensure that you remain completely relaxed and comfortable throughout your appointment.
I am afraid of not being told what's going on.
We will go over your entire treatment plan prior to your scheduled appointment. The day of your appointment, depending on what method of dental relaxation you have chosen, you may arrive already relaxed and will be mostly unaware of what is happening during your procedure. Someone will be with you throughout your treatment to reassure you and let you know how you are doing. Most patients have little memory of the appointment but are thrilled with the results they accomplish in one visit!
