This summer salad is both hearty and healthy!

Dental anxiety is real. Studies show that roughly 36% of individuals have a fear of going to the dentist, and 12% of people have a very serious, extreme fear. While it’s common, you should never let anxiety and fear keep you from seeing the dentist, which, unfortunately, about 20% of people do. Here at Texas Sedation Dental, our goal is to ensure our patients are comfortable when they visit our office and that they don’t avoid their dental care. We are dedicated to providing the highest care standard possible. We provide a wide range of dental sedation options to help make your trips to our office comfortable and smooth. From the moment you walk through the door, our team of professionals will put you at ease. In both our Longview and Tyler offices, we offer both oral sedation and intravenous sedation. In addition to the sedation methods we offer, there are some tips and tricks you can utilize on your own to help make your trip to the dentist a bit less stressful and daunting. TIME YOUR ARRIVAL. If you’re running behind schedule, this can only build your anxiety more, but on the flip side, if you’re too early and waiting for a while in the waiting room, this can be stressful, too. Allow yourself just enough time to fill out our paperwork! BRING DISTRACTIONS. Whether you listen to music, read a magazine, or surf the internet on your phone, bringing distractions to keep you busy during your appointment, cleaning, and procedures can help! BREATHE. Before your appointment, do a few breathing exercises or meditate, even if it’s in your car in the parking lot. This will help to get you in a calm and positive state of mind before your appointment. Don’t let your fear of the dentist keep you from visiting us! If you have any anxiety or fear, don’t be afraid to let us know — we are prepared to help you feel more comfortable!
