We’ve all been there before — anxious and nervous about a dental appointment. It makes sense. Movies have always poked fun at dental phobia by a prospective patient in the waiting room getting ever so nervous at the sound of the dental drill. We understand why anyone would be a tad trepidatious about treatment after hearing that high-pitched scream as it goes to work on a patient’s mouth. Being nervous about a dental appointment is nothing to be ashamed of. There are lots of people out there who suffer from dental anxiety just like you and it takes a lot of courage to just walk through our doors. We’re here to tell you that there are ways to combat dental phobia, and it’s with sedation dentistry. At our office in Winthrop, MA, you can count on excellent sedation therapy provided by a caring staff. Dr. Brooks is a master at offering sedation dentistry services and he wants you to be relaxed and comfortable for your next dental appointment.
