Dental Anxiety
Overcoming the Fear of
Dentistry
Recent
advances in dental care have made dentistry a largely pain free
experience, however the fear of dentists remains one of the most common
fears among both children and adults. At Mill Ridge Family
Dental Care, we take a special Interest in treating people for whom
dental appointments are a stressful event.
With a
Masters degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapy, in
addition to her
Doctorate in Dental Surgery, Dr. Levitt is a
recognized leader in the assessment and treatment of dental anxiety.
We understand that patients need to be given control over their
dental treatment. As a result, patients who normally experience extreme
fear while in the dental chair are provided with the coping skills
they need to complete their dental treatment
These are the cornerstones of our dental practice
philosophy. Using these methods, we have helped many patients who
have avoided dentists for years to recapture there healthy smiles in
a comfortable and stress free environment.
