Managing Dental Anxiety: A Guide

By Dr. Rajshikha Deka | October 24, 2025

Dental anxiety is more common than you think—many people feel nervous before their appointment. The good news is, your dental team is trained to make your experience comfortable and stress-free.

Communicate Openly

Let your dentist know about your fears. They can explain each step, go slowly, and offer sedation or numbing options if needed.

Bring Comfort Items

Listening to music, holding a stress ball, or having a trusted friend accompany you can help calm your nerves.

Try Relaxation Techniques

Practice deep breathing or mindfulness before and during your visit. Focus on slow, steady breaths to keep your body relaxed.
