“I cannot say enough about Dr. John Rogers’ chair manner. I mean, I am a super nervous person. I have to come to the dentist frequently. So when I do say that I do love coming here, it really does mean a lot. I mean, he did a root canal on me and I fell asleep. So I think that, as a dentist or any doctor, right, that’s providing you …” Read More – Angela D.
“Here at LakeCrest Dental, you can expect a calming atmosphere, particularly if you have any apprehension about dental care.

“I got dental treatment fairly recently. I qualified for it through the VA fairly recently. The Tulsa clinic is extremely busy.

I felt like it was moving, and I couldn’t really explain that to the doctors how it was feeling because it was so unusual to me, I guess. I went in to see them …” Read More – Tom A.

“I was expecting for my first root canal to like, be horrified. There were several times that Dr. Pahle said, “Can you feel that?” And I would say, “Yeah. I mean, I guess I can feel it, but it’s nothing major,” and he basically said, “I don’t want you to feel it at all.” So, it was his priority to ensure that I was as completely comfortable and relaxed as …” Read More – Martin M.
“I like coming to see Dr. Pahle mainly because the VA first referred me up here, and once I got here, they referred me up here for a broken bridge.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

How common is dental anxiety?

Nearly everyone admits to feeling anxious at the dentist at least once in a while. A Cleveland Clinic study found that up to 15 percent of Americans avoid going to the dentist due to their anxiety. It’s important to address feelings that lead you to avoid regular dental appointments. Skipping routine care can result in problems like cavities that are likely to make you feel even more anxious.

Can dental problems cause anxiety?

People sometimes avoid treatment for problems like cavities or gum disease because they are worried it will be uncomfortable. However, with local anesthesia and the option of dental sedation, you shouldn’t feel a thing. If such problems aren’t treated in a timely manner, you’ll require more extensive – and expensive – treatment to resolve the issue.

What can I do to relieve dental anxiety?

We encourage those with anxiety to come and meet our team during a no-pressure “happy visit” to our office. This gives you a chance to check out our relaxed atmosphere and get to know us before receiving any treatment. We’re also happy to schedule longer appointments so you can take a break if needed. You also have the option of receiving dental sedation.
