Many people have anxiety or stress when visiting the dentist, with others experiencing a true dental phobia. While it is understandable that dentistry is not always enjoyable, it is vital for a healthy smile and overall wellness. Our compassionate team at Optum Dental Arts in Tampa, Florida, is committed to helping our patients with dental phobia and other levels of dental anxiety receive the oral care they need in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Dental anxiety and fear of dental treatments can stem from bad experiences in the past, but often they are rooted in myths about dentistry. There was a time when dental treatments were more uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, due to the older techniques used decades ago. The modern options in dentistry allow for more expedient dental treatments that are less invasive. Most dental treatments can be performed in one visit at our office, and we offer aesthetics and medications that make the experience pain and stress free.
