| - First off, Im a giant coward and have HUGE anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I make this WELL KNOWN when I come to the dentist, and I feel like they should acknowledge this and make the appropriate adjustments for me.
Well, I have to have a crown put on.......(que horror screams).
As they get ready to numb me up with Novocain, I express to them I'm VERY nervous, please knock me up good. With in seconds they ZING me that almost makes me jump out of the chair. They offer me nitrous for an extra $35.....fine.
After a few giant inhales, and a 3rd round of Novocain I can finally drift off while they work. I like the staff and the office, I just wish when a patient expresses their anxiety they could immidiatly take a patients concern and address it right away.
Also, its GOT TO BE in my chart somewhere, I've gone over this when I simply get my teeth cleaned. Why are my concerns not validated up front? If my fear and my concerns and my anxiety are delt with right away and you blast me with No2 when I sit down, it eliminates any fear or hesitation to come back, and I have 2 more crowns to go!
I hope someone from this office reads this and takes in consideration to what I say. People with anxiety and fear of the dentist should be put at ease so they will be comfortable RIGHT AWAY! Not a few minutes into their procedure when they jump out of the chair!
