Dentist Scared

Every year, many people in the Los Angeles area refuse to see a dentist. Scared off by dental phobias that can cause undo stress, a fear of the drill, or even just put off by the idea of a stranger touching their mouths; it is no great mystery as to why the dentist's chair holds a sense of dread for many people.

At the Solis Surgical Arts Center, William Gottschalk, D.D.S. and Kenneth K. Lee, D.D.S. offer sedation dentistry (also known as sleep dentistry) for your convenience. If you are in the San Fernando Valley or Sherman Oaks area, a stress-free dentist visit can be in your future by contacting us today.

Are you Scared of the Dentist

Should I be considering sedation dentistry?

Ask yourself if you suffer from any of the following problems:

• Embarrassment at the state of your teeth
• Gagging or choking
• Needing extensive treatment
• Feeling a loss of control
• Tolerance to local anesthetics
• Fear of the drill

If so, then cosmetic dentists Drs. Gottschalk and Lee may be able to help you overcome your fears by offering to let you to sleep right through your procedure!

Here are a few tips on dealing with dental fear:

• Let your dentist know that you are anxious
• Agree on a "stop signal" with your dentist, such as a hand signal
• Use relaxation aids such as music with headphones
