Do you fear the dentist?You are not alone and having this fear is nothing to be ashamed of! Fear of dental procedures is extremely common. From mild discomfort to all out phobias, this fear makes it difficult for many patients to get the regular dental care they need to maintain a healthy mouth and healthy body. Avoiding dental visits is detrimental and may result in more invasive, painful, and expensive treatments later on.

Aleshia has spent over 30 years working with people who are uncomfortable or have a true fear of the dentist, and will help you have a relaxing and educational experience. Some of the techniques that Aleshia uses include:

  • Above all, giving YOU the control. You canstop the procedure at any time you feel uncomfortable, and take as many breaks as you need. A non-verbal cue, such as raising the left hand when you need to stop, is determined before starting the procedure.
  • If you brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, you will brush your teeth for about 24 hours each year, or 76 days over the course of your life! All this brushing will use about 20 gallons of toothpaste.
