Dental phobia is a real condition. We’re not lying. There are a lot more people than you may realize that suffer from this condition. Also referred to as dental anxiety, it’s a condition that speaks for itself. It doesn’t matter how old or young a patient is, there always seems to be something that keeps them away from the dentist’s office. Maybe it’s the sound of the dental drill that gives them nightmares, or the office “smell” that permeates throughout the practice. Forgoing treatment outright is not a smart decision. If you suffer from dental phobia or anxiety, you know firsthand the feelings that occur. We want you to know that there are ways to deal with dental phobia, and one is through conscious sedation dentistry. This specialized treatment is designed to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. Our dental office in Collierville, TN offers this treatment for all of our patients. If you don’t suffer from any type of anxiety, then this isn’t for you. Having trouble finding a great sedation dentist, Collierville residents? Dr. Joshua Holcomb is on the job and wants you to know you’re in great hands.
