Dental anxiety is often much more than just a “fear” of the dentist. According to the Health Policy Institute<\/a><\/strong>, 1 in 3 Medicaid users avoided the dentist in 2024 due to dental anxiety. But skipping routine visits puts your oral health at significant risk, as we can’t point out early signs of infection or decay. Even with excellent at-home care, your teeth still need regular professional cleanings to prevent serious oral health issues. If you find your dental anxiety is holding you back from the care you need, we recommend visiting a sedation dentist! Sedation dentistry helps keep you calm and comfortable during dental procedures, allowing you to get the care you need without worry.<\/p>\n
