“A trip to the dentist should not cause you fear,” says Dr.Denine Rice. Huge strides have been made to increase your comfort. For example:
1.
Dental Chairs: Many have super soft material and
are created with patient comfort in mind. “For some treatment, patients may
spend a significant time in the dental chair, they should feel fully supported
and relaxed during that time,” adds Dr. Rice.
2.
Anesthetic: There are many options that your
dentist can use to assist them which will in turn make the process of getting
numb that much easier for the patient. In our office, we use the Dental Vibe,
which distracts patients and allows for more comfort.
3.
Music: “You are always invited to bring in an
iPod or player in which to listen to music. We’ve found that this can also
provide comfort for patients. And if you’ve forgotten your headphones, just ask
us to change the station to one that sets you at ease,” she adds.
4.
Pillows and Blankets: These are kept on hand to
make sure that knees, backs and necks are fully supported for comfort.
If we can provide anything else
that will make your visit more pleasant, let us know.
