LET THE Caring TEAM AT Studio Blu Dental HELP YOU WITH DENTAL ANXIETY
The overwhelming fear of dental appointments can be a common cause of anxiety. Many people visualize a drill-wielding man in a white coat just waiting to cause pain and remove teeth. The reality, however, is very different at Studio Blu Dental. The comfort, relaxation, and happiness of our patients are the primary focus of our dental practice. The team at the Studio Blu Dental will do whatever they can to reduce anxiety, allay fears, and provide painless, quick treatments.
Dental anxiety and fear can become completely overwhelming. It is estimated that as many as 35 million people do not visit the dental office at all because they are too afraid. Receiving regular dental check-ups and cleanings are incredibly important. Having regular routine check-ups is the easiest way to maintain excellent oral hygiene and reduce the need for more complex treatments.
The First step is Talk to us – We can't read minds. Though it can be hard to talk about irrational fears with a stranger, we can take extra precautions during visits if fears and anxiety are communicated. Just remember your not alone, 35 million people avoid the dentist out of those same fears and it is our pleasure to ensure your visit is stress free.
Studio Blu Anti-Anxiety Options
We fully recognize that receiving dental care can at times be stressful, and we take great pride in being able to accommodate even the most nervous patients. Our anti-anxiety options include:
Nitrous Oxide: We want to make this something to laugh about so we plumbed laughing gas into every treatment suite.
Noise Canceling Headphones: We offer top of the line Bose noise canceling headphones to help put your mind at ease.
Shorter Appointments: We can offer extra support by ensuring you're in and out before your mind has a chance to wonder.
Topical Numbing Gel: We offer a compound numbing gel to be applied to gums prior to any treatment to minimize any discomfort or fear of needles.
Agree on a signal: Many people are afraid that the dentist will not know they are in significant pain during the appointment and will continue with the procedure regardless. The best way to solve this problem is to agree on a “stop” hand signal. Both parties can easily understand signals like raising the hand or tapping on the chair.
Spa Like Atmosphere: Studio Blu was conceived by Dr. Chuan to change the concept of what a dental office was in Highland, with relaxing aroma therapy and a soothing atmosphere we like to think we’re uniquely positioned to be the best dentist in the Hudson Valley for those that fear the dentist.
