Dr. Brooks and his dental team understand the importance of not just helping patients achieve a healthy and beautiful smile, but providing dental services in a way that is comfortable and accommodating. For our monthly newsletter, we wanted to address a common issue that affects millions of patients every year: dental anxiety.
Do you know someone who has avoided going to the dentist for years because of anxiety or because of negative experiences with a previous dentist? If so, you are far from alone. According to reports on dental anxiety in America, it’s estimated that between 9 and 15 percent of individuals avoid seeing the dentist because of anxiety or fear. That’s between 30 and 40 million people who are putting their oral health at risk due to something that’s out of their control.
But there’s reason to be hopeful this holiday season. We hope you take the time to learn how Brooks Dental accommodates all of its patients and what treatments you should consider pursuing, whether it be for yourself or as a gift for a special someone this Christmas!
To start, we’d like to introduce Katie, a patient at Brooks Dental who struggled with dental visits in the past, but overcame her fear with help from our dentists and team members.
