Doctor R.R. Williams on relieving dental anxiety
Read Transcript
Nervous dental patients are very common. I found in my practice that if I can make a way for a person to be relaxed in the office then they’re more prone to have dental treatment done that they need. We have ways to help people relax, whether it’s the happy gases, or it’s the happy air, or whether it’s medications that help them relax. They come here so that they can take a couple of pills and relax, and then go back, or they can simply get a prescription filled at the pharmacy and take those pills and then come here and they’re more relaxed. Then we have things in the office that help them relax like, cozy blankets, and we have headphones. They can listen to music. Then we have chairs that are cushioned, that are comfortable, so we try to make it a comfortable, relaxing, cozy environment. Sometimes medication is a powerful way to make that more possible.
- Expert dental care to maintain your oral health.
- Three choices for relaxing sedation if desired.
- Early detection of small dental problems before they get bigger and more serious.
- Increased confidence knowing your smile looks its best.
- Less anxiety about future dental work.

Take Your Choice of Sedation
We offer three different types of sedation so that you have plenty of choices depending on your level of anxiety:
- Inhaled sedation (“laughing gas”). This gentle sedative provides a slight euphoric effect to relax and calm you.
- Oral conscious sedation. Before your appointment, you’ll take a small FDA-approved pill that will calm your nerves and make you feel slightly groggy.
- IV sedation. We partner with a trusted medical professional who will administer safe, effective medication to put you in a dream-like state during your procedure.
