One of the most important ways to relieve dental anxiety is empathizing with the patient and recognizing that it is a very stressful atmosphere. And I think one of the most effective ways at first to do it is just recognize it. Also, we have a lot of tools to help. Laughing gas, nitrous, that helps out a lot. It just kind of makes the time go by faster. You’re still fully awake, still can fully talk, and you’re here, but it just kind of makes it a less taxing time. But it’s just being empathetic and taking your time with patients because you don’t want to rush anyone during that time. And so it’s just sitting them down, talking through it step by step, and also not forcing people to do something they don’t want to do. So if they come in and they’re like, I just can’t do this, and it’s like recognizing, it’s like, well, we’ll try again. It’s not the end of the world, and we’re always here. And just whenever you’re ready and comfortable, then we’re always here to help you.
