Dental Anxiety?
Learn how we can help!
​
We understand the complexities associated with dental anxiety and the critical role of comprehensive oral healthcare. Dr. Maryam Safarpourasldarn has a special interest in treating patients with dental fear or anxiety and has successfully helped numerous individuals overcome their concerns. Dental fear or anxiety can stem from various factors, including past negative experiences, fear of pain, needle phobia, feelings of loss of control during procedures, embarrassment regarding oral health, sensory overload in dental settings, and anxiety disorders.
Neglecting dental care due to anxiety or other reasons can result in worsening dental conditions such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. This neglect can lead to pain, discomfort, risk of infections, and can impact overall health, including cardiovascular health and mental well-being. Delaying dental treatment often leads to increased costs due to the necessity for more extensive and costly procedures in the future. Emergency dental visits, missed work or school, and impacts on insurance coverage and financial planning can further strain individuals' finances.
Neglected dental issues may prompt patients to seek relief in hospital emergency rooms, contributing to inefficiencies, resource strain, and higher healthcare costs. Emergency rooms are not equipped for routine dental care, resulting in temporary solutions and additional follow-up care needs. The increased utilization of emergency dental services and complex treatments can lead to higher insurance claims and costs for both patients and insurance providers. This may affect risk pools within insurance plans and influence premiums and coverage options. Neglecting dental care can also strain public health programs, lead to increased Medicaid costs for emergency dental care, and impact overall healthcare budgets.
We prioritize comprehensive dental care and recognize the interconnectedness of oral health with overall well-being. We offer a range of sedation options for anxious patients, including inhaled sedation, oral sedation, referral for IV sedation, and utilize the Dental Wand for needle phobia. Our proactive approach to dental care aims to prevent complications, improve oral health, and reduce long-term health risks and financial burdens.
