Consistent dental check-ups help maintain oral health and can reduce the need for extensive treatments. Make regular appointments to keep your dental visits routine and less frightening.

Give yourself a few extra minutes before your appointment. Arriving early allows you to relax in the waiting area, minimizing stress and creating a more positive mindset.
Bring Headphones or Music To Your Dental Appointmnet
Bring your favourite music or an audiobook to distract yourself during dental procedures. Confirm with your dentist that it’s suitable for your specific treatment.
Discuss Anesthesia Options With your Dentist

Bring Supportive Company
Having a friend or family member with you can provide emotional support and make the experience less scary.
Reward Yourself After Your Dental Appointment
Plan a treat for yourself afterwards, go to a movie, take a spa day.
