Dental Anxiety? 4 Ways COOMSA Will Put Your Mind at Ease

Many people avoid going to the dentist because of dental anxiety. Their fear of sitting in the dentist’s chair can cause them to skip dental visits — for years at a time, in extreme cases. By the time these people finally visit the dentist, they typically have several serious conditions.

Attending regular appointments is important for your oral health, and it helps prevent any unwanted treatments and procedures. If you suffer from dental anxiety, here are 4 ways the Central Oklahoma Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates (COOMSA) will put your mind at ease. 

1. Our team is knowledgeable and well trained. 

All the staff and doctors at COOMSA are trained professionals, so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands when you come to visit. We will answer all your questions and guide you through our procedures to ensure you understand your treatment. 

We offer informative, educational advice in a straightforward way. Your comfort is our top priority, and we are dedicated to ensuring you have a pain-free experience without feeling anxious. 

2. We’ll walk you through every step. 

We fear what we don’t know, and for many patients suffering from dental anxiety, their fear is the result of not knowing what to expect. Our team is patient and happy to walk you through every step of your treatments, whether it’s a simple checkup or a bigger procedure. 

We want you to understand what we’re doing — and why — so that you are confident that you’re getting the best dental treatment available. Knowledge is power, and when you understand everything, you’re likely to follow up with a good aftercare regimen to maintain your oral health.
