At Dr Klein's dental office we care for more than just your teeth and gums. If you tend to feel anxious when you visit a dentist, please know that we understand that and have over 20 years of success helping people feel comfortable in our dental office.
Dr Klein will listen to your concerns and spend time with you to understand what has made you anxious. Then he will take steps to help you feel calm and confident.

There may be solid reasons for your fear, such as:

• A previous bad experience
• Extra sensitive teeth
• A strong gag reflex
• A great deal of dental work needing to be done
• A previous practitioner who never really listened to you

Too many people have had bad experiences with the type of dentistry they’ve experienced, with noisy drills, uncomfortable chairs and the feeling that they were on an assembly line.

We have found that your worries or fears are not abnor mal. Many people have fear that keeps them away from dental care. We will listen to your concerns and we’ll create options to care for you comfortably and to take care of your dental needs without additional worries.

Conscious Sedation

We also offer oral medications to reduce anxiety. They make you feel calm and unconcerned. The effects wear off rather slowly so you would need a ride home.

If you prefer, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available. You would breathe it through a soft mask. It gives you a calm and relaxed feeling and as soon as you remove the mask, the effects wear off. That means you can drive yourself home.
 

Your Comfort

We try to make our entire office a relaxing place and our staff will treat you with the utmost respect and caring. If you do feel uncomfortable or tense, we hope you will let us know so that we can help you deal with it.

Good dental health is important in itself for clean breath and a pleasing smile. But your dental health is also related to your gener al health and can give early indications of other health problems in the making. For more information please see our page on Oral Health and Your General Well-Being.

Everyone on our dental staff is experienced and kind at helping people who feel anxious. We urge you not to delay any necessary dental work, but to give us a call today.
