Dental anxiety affects many individuals, regardless of age or background. Whether you have experienced a traumatic dental visit in the past or simply feel uneasy about the sights, sounds or sensations of the dental office, these fears can become a serious obstacle to maintaining your oral health. Our dentists and team understand that your concerns are valid, and we are here to support you every step of the way so that you can receive the care you deserve in a calm and reassuring environment.
Understanding the Causes & Effects of Dental Anxiety
Anxiety surrounding dental visits can stem from multiple sources. Some patients may worry about pain while others may feel a loss of control in the dental chair, and some may simply feel embarrassed about the condition of their teeth. These feelings can result in skipped appointments, delayed treatment or even complete avoidance of the dentist, which may lead to more complex dental problems in the future.Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains, Dr. Eric Mack and our team will work closely with you to understand your concerns and help you find the best solutions. We encourage you to express your fears openly so that we can tailor your visit to your comfort level and create a personalized care experience.
Simple Strategies to Ease Your Dental Fears
There are several practical steps you can take to reduce anxiety before and during your appointment:
- Practicing controlled breathing techniques can help slow your heart rate and promote relaxation.
- Bringing a pair of headphones and listening to soothing music or an engaging podcast can also serve as a helpful distraction.
- Let our team know if you are feeling nervous. We are happy to explain each step of your treatment in detail so that you know exactly what to expect. If needed, we can schedule extra time for your visit so you never feel rushed.
- We also offer sedation options, such as nitrous oxide or oral sedation, to help calm your nerves in a safe and controlled manner.

Lillian C.
The team at Dynamic Dentistry was from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left accommodating, kind, patient and friendly. I have a lot of anxiety surrounding dentistry and I felt no stress at all. Very transparent about care plans going forward, no judgement about dental state, helped me feel confident that my dental health is a priority just as much as how I feel about the experience.

Dynamic Dentistry is the place to go for all your dental needs. Like a lot of folks, just the thought of sitting in a dental chair can cause anxiety. Not here! Everyone is kind, patient and caring while providing high quality dental care. If you just need a cleaning, Linda is the BEST!

Going to the dentist is always hard for me due to anxiety and finding a new dentist is even worse. From the moment I walked into Dynamic Dentistry I was impressed. The office staff are very nice and make you feel welcome. Dr. Farr is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. Had some major work done yesterday. She was so gentle and patient. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone to this office.
