Dental Fear – Overcome Your Dental Anxiety at Gloss & Floss®

Understanding Dental Fear and Its Impact

Dental fear shouldn’t keep you from a healthy smile—our Stockholm clinic offers calm, pain-free care and gentle sedation options.

Do you feel anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist? The thought of sitting in the dental chair can be overwhelming for many. Dental fear, often linked to concerns about medical instruments or past negative experiences, can significantly impact your oral health. When dental anxiety takes hold, patients may avoid appointments, leading to a decline in oral hygiene, increased risk of caries, and even tooth loss.

The Importance of Regular Dental Visits

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing potential problems before they become serious. By addressing dental anxiety early, you can ensure that you receive the preventive care necessary for a healthy smile. Our approach at Gloss & Floss® is designed to ease your worries and encourage you to keep up with your routine visits.
