Doctor Chad Murdock on relieving dental anxiety
Anxious patients coming in to see me can be assured that we're going to do everything we can to relieve their anxiety, and we start with just simple procedures. We want the patient to know, hey, we're aware that this may be uncomfortable for you, and we want to listen what will help you best make it through your dental procedure.
We use laughing gas or nitrous oxide. We use oral sedation to help patients who are a little more anxious just kind of come into a more comfortable level. We allow them to help plan the appointment for themselves so that they can feel assured that, hey, I'm going to be taken care of. I've got the appropriate sedation that I need on board and that I can make it through my dental appointment. We want to make that a good experience for them.
Other ways we make an anxious patient comfortable is just the customer service aspect of what we're looking at. We want, from the moment they enter into our front door in our office, we want them to be taken care of so that the anxiety they have of sitting down for their appointment can be alleviated from patient entering the door to seeing the doctor, to having their teeth worked on, and then follow up afterwards, just so that they know they're taken care of while we're addressing their anxious concerns for the appointment.
