Dental Anxaity ? We are with you .

 



Fear of dentists is extremely common. A huge portion of our patients explain to us their fear of dental treatment, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about, and you are far from alone in this. Unfortunately though, we can only help those that come through our doors... and research has shown that each year, half a million Americans do not go to the dentist because of fear. The Hempstead Dental is conveniently located near to the 641 10th St, Hempstead. We also provide various dental services in the nearby cities of Waller and Belleville is the closet dentist office .

Why is it important to identify my fears?

What goes through your mind when you think about going to the dentist? What is it that gets your heart racing? When we ask patients, a lot of the time they have difficulty pinpointing what it is about coming to see us they hate so much. All they know is they hate it!  However, dental anxiety, although so common, is so complicated and everyone is unique in their story. Unless you let us know what it is you fear, we are just assuming - and you know what they say about assuming. The last thing we want is to do something that  is routine - for example - lean you right back in the chair, and make you uncomfortable and add to your dislike of dentists.

Identifying what it is that makes you uncomfortable will allow you to understand your fear more, and then you can tailor your appointment with us to minimize those things. You do not have to explain yourself as to why those things scare you if you do not want to.

We have made a document to assist this process- find it here. We recommend going through the questions in your own time and sending it to us before your appointment, as often people have a mental blank when they're in the dental chair.

Two -Way Communication

Being afraid of the dentist is not weird, or abnormal, and it definitely doesn't make you a sook. If you don't think you'll be able to talk about it in the dental chair, you could try:

  •  talking with a friend or family member that is a good listener
  •  talking to our reception staff in a non-clinical room or via phone 
  •  fill out our form and email it to us, or bring it in with you

This is critical! 

We are dentists but we are also just normal people, all with our own personality. Find someone who you trust and makes you feel comfortable - one that you would like, if only they weren't a dentist!

Root Canal Treatment Is Not More Painful With Hempstead dental.

Image
" Root canal " is actually a natural cavity within the center of the tooth. The tooth's nerve lies within the root canal. When a tooth is severely decayed or broken and bacteria has invaded the tooth, deeply damaging the nerve inside, then we recommend a root canal treatment to save your tooth. Usually, the problem is manifested outwardly as a severe toothache, dental abscesses on the gums or radiolucency on your tooth’s x-ray image. A root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. No need to think about the 'low-cost dental clinic near me' as in Hempstead Dental , we offer high-quality root canal treatments at low prices. The treatment is painless, as it is carried out under local anesthesia. Our highly experienced Root Canal Specialists perform the procedure efficiently. Hempstea
