Dental Anxiety Care in Espanola
You Deserve To Feel Comfortable At The Dentist
Dental anxiety is real — and it’s more common than people think. Whether you’ve had a bad experience in the past or just feel uneasy in the chair, we understand. At Espanola Dental Centre, we’re here to meet you where you are, not where you “should” be.
Our goal is to help you get the care you need in a space that feels safe, supportive, and calm.
Our Approach To Dental Anxiety
We take time to understand what you’re feeling and why. That allows us to adapt your visit in a way that works for you. We can:
Talk through the procedure ahead of time
Move at a slower, more comfortable pace
Offer breaks when needed
Use calm, consistent communication
Check in regularly so you never feel rushed or left out
Sometimes, just knowing you’re being heard is enough to make a difference.
It’s Ok To Need Extra Support
We regularly work with patients who:
Avoid dental visits due to fear or embarrassment
Feel out of control in the dental chair
Worry about discomfort or pain
Struggle with specific triggers (needles, sounds, smells)
Haven’t seen a dentist in many years
There’s no shame, no lectures, and no pressure to move faster than you’re ready for.
Sedation Is An Option — But Not Required
For some, oral sedation is a helpful tool. But many anxious patients benefit from our supportive approach alone. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you explore your options and choose what feels right.
You Can Start Small
If it’s been a long time since your last visit, that’s OK. Start with a conversation, or come in just to meet the team and look around. We’ll take things at your pace — one step at a time.
