“How can I deal with anxiety about visiting the dentist for the first time?”
1. Consider what the anxiety stems from. For example: pain, injections, loss of control, personal space invasion, embarrassment about fear of the unknown.
2. Discuss these fears and concerns with your dentist.
3. Expect respectful consideration and open discussion about resolving concerns.

All Sugar Is Equally Bad For Teeth
