Nervous About the Dentist? You’re Welcome Here.
If going to the dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Maybe it’s been a few years since your last visit. Maybe you’ve had an uncomfortable experience in the past. Or maybe you’ve always felt anxious in the dental chair and aren’t quite sure why.
Whatever brought you here, you don’t need to explain or apologize for how you feel.
At Kissimmee Family Dentistry, we want you to feel comfortable asking questions, telling us when you’re nervous and letting us know what would make your visit easier. Our goal isn’t simply to take care of your teeth. We want you to feel cared for while you’re here.
A Calmer Dental Experience Starts With Being Heard
Dental fear looks different for everyone. Some patients feel a little uneasy before an appointment. Others may have put off dental care for years because the thought of making an appointment feels overwhelming.
We understand that walking through the door can sometimes be the hardest part.
That’s why we take the time to talk with you, understand your concerns and help you know what to expect. You won’t be rushed through your questions or made to feel uncomfortable because it’s been a while since you’ve seen a dentist.
You can simply start where you are.
You Can Feel Comfortable Here
What If I Haven’t Been to the Dentist in Years?
Start with a conversation.
We see patients with all kinds of dental histories. If fear, anxiety, embarrassment or life simply got in the way of regular dental visits, our focus is on what we can do for you now.
Your first visit gives us an opportunity to learn about you, evaluate your oral health and talk through any concerns you have. If treatment is needed, we’ll explain what we see and discuss your options with you.
You don’t have to figure everything out before making the appointment.
Tell Us What Makes You Nervous
For some people, simply knowing what is going to happen can make a dental visit feel easier. Others are worried about discomfort, have had a difficult experience in the past or feel embarrassed about the condition of their teeth. Tell us.
Knowing what concerns you helps our team understand how we can better support you. We want your visit to feel like a conversation, not something that is simply happening to you.
Your First Visit at Kissimmee Family Dentistry
Your experience with us starts before you ever sit in the dental chair.
Our new patient concierge helps with communication before your appointment so you know what to expect. When you arrive, our team takes the time to get to know you, listen to your concerns and understand what brought you in.
You’ll also have meaningful time with your doctor. If we identify something that needs attention, we’ll talk with you about it and work together to determine what comes next.
No lectures. No rushing through the conversation. Just a clear understanding of where things stand and your options moving forward.
