Caring for Your Unique Needs

Our goal is for you to have a comfortable and safe experience. Please tell us if you have any of the following concerns – or others – that we need to be aware of.

• I have a strong gag reflex.
• Lying in the dental chair makes me feel out of control.
• I am nervous that I'll be judged because I have not visited a dentist in a long time.
• My main concern is pain control.
• My teeth are sensitive.
• The poking around for cavities makes me nervous.
• I don't like the sounds of dental tools.
• Please don't use cotton in my mouth.
• I don't know much about dental care, so I need education and instruction.
• My time is very limited, so please don't make me wait.
• Please tell me what to expect financially; I do not like surprises.
• I will forget what you tell me while I am in the dental chair.
• I have special health concerns (diabetes, medications, etc.).
