At Painfree Dentistry in Harris Park, NSW, we don’t want our patients to worry about their dental treatments or feel anxious before or during a dental procedure. We understand that dental anxiety is a common occurrence, so that is why we offer a variety of ways to help keep you calm. Let’s take a look at what we can do for you.
Do You Have Dental Anxiety?
You can ask yourself some of the following questions to determine whether you suffer from dental anxiety:
- Do you feel panic at the thought of visiting the dentist?
- Do you feel anxious while you are waiting for your dental appointment?
- Are you afraid of needles or dental instruments?
- Have you ever felt like you couldn’t breathe when you were at the dentist?
We can discuss relieving your dental anxiety if you answered yes to any of these questions.
Pain-free and Stress-free Dentistry in Harris Park
When you visit our dental clinic, we realise that you may be feeling worried or anxious, so this is how we help out Parramatta patients:
IV sedation – We can bring an anaesthetist into your treatment room to administer sedation medications. Once you have received the injection, you will feel extremely relaxed, so much so that you may not be aware of what is happening around you.
Injex – This relaxation method doesn’t involve an injection; instead, this device uses air pressure to alleviate pain. The good news is that this treatment method is free to our patients.
Aesthetic gel – If you are going to receive an injection, we can use this special gel to numb the area beforehand.
Distraction – We have found that distracting our patients is a powerful tool to help them overcome some of their dental anxiety. We use techniques such as hand pressure to distract your body and your mind.
Penthrox – This sedation method uses an inhaler to deliver a fast-acting medication. You will quickly feel relaxed and worry-free.
