There’s No Need To Worry

Evergreen specialises in treating people in a stress-free environment, but no matter how relaxing we make our clinic and how gentle we are, the fact is that about one person in ten is so anxious about visiting a dentist that they put-off going until discomfort overcomes anxiety. We all know that’s not logical, and it usually makes treatment, when it is at last inevitable, more difficult and more invasive (and therefore more anxiety-inducing) than if the visit had been made immediately a problem was noticed. However, dental anxiety is a fact of life for those one in ten, so how do we help to overcome it?

The reasons people worry about visiting a dentist include pain, lack of control, embarrassment, and perhaps the cost of treatment. At Evergreen we understand those anxieties, and we strive to help you address and master them.

The first step is to let us know what worries you. Then, before even inviting you into the dental chair for an initial examination, we’ll talk to you about your anxiety and explain how we can help you overcome the problem. In these pages we’ll talk briefly about particular anxieties. When we see you, we can be much more specific about your own case.
