Did you know that, according to the Canadian Dental Association Journal, approximately 22% of adults suffer from dental anxiety? Dental anxiety is a common phenomenon, and many adults and children are fearful of visiting the dentist.

For some, nervousness can turn into an aggressive form of dental anxiety, causing them to avoid the dentist at all costs, to the point of neglecting their dental problems until they become serious. Often in these cases, a minor problem turns into something that requires more invasive procedures such as an extraction or root canal. To avoid reaching this point, it is important to discuss your fears and options for reducing anxiety with your dentist. If your dentist knows the cause of your anxiety, they can take steps to alleviate it.

At Clinique dentaire Beaulieu, Lapointe et associés, we prioritize our patients' needs and ensure that they feel confident and safe with our dental professionals. Our dentists offer various options to reduce anxiety, including prescribing anti-anxiety medication before appointments. Our dentists also have extensive experience with children, so they understand their fears and make sure to take good care of them.
