Fear is a very common reason for avoiding the dental office. This fear sometimes stems from past experiences, but it can also stem from a lack of information about dental procedures or the dental experience as a whole.

Our focus is on your well-being and satisfaction, and we do all we can to develop a relationship, earn your trust and assist you in overcoming anxieties about your dental procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I visit Oso Marguerite Dental before my treatment to ask questions and get more comfortable?
At Oso Marguerite Dental, it is our goal to keep you comfortable throughout every treatment. In most cases, we are happy to meet with you before your treatment to evaluate your mouth, diagnose your condition and discuss treatment options. Your procedure can then be scheduled for a later date. In an emergency situation, we may advise evaluation and treatment on the same day, but we promise to still give you time to ask questions and feel comfortable before any procedure begins.
-
Are there any distractions you recommend in the dental chair to help me feel more comfortable?
Oso Marguerite Dental invites patients to bring earbuds or headphones and listen to music during their treatments. Feel free to bring your music player and a selection of favorite songs to help drown out the sound of any equipment and make your visit more enjoyable.

How can I help protect my child’s emotional well being in the dental chair?
Children are excellent at following their parents’ lead when it comes to feeling comfortable in the dental chair. Remind your child that the dentist at Oso Marguerite Dental is a professional who is there to help them stay healthy and feel comfortable. Encourage your child to ask age appropriate questions and express any concerns while visiting Oso Marguerite Dental. For very young children, it is also often helpful to get the child used to the idea of visiting Oso Marguerite Dental before their visit. Brush their teeth at home, show them what it is like to have a dentist open their mouth and touch their teeth and consider reading books or watching a show about visiting the dentist. Finally, ask any questions you have during the visit because your level of comfort will translate to a more comfortable visit for your child too.
