While we at Dawson work hard to foster a calming environment led by expert dental teams, fear of the dentist is common, and normal. That’s why we offer varying levels of sedation to appropriately address your level of concern; from light nitrous oxide, to general anesthesia, we’ve got you covered.
We understand that dental anxiety and fear is a very real thing. Our patients, family members and even some of our team members experience some form of dental anxiety. We are here to tell you, we understand and we want to help!

Learn what options are available to people who are scared of the dentist.
Each year millions of people avoid necessary dental care due to dental fear. In doing so, they sacrifice their dental health and the minor problems rapidly become major ones.
Luckily, our dentists offer various forms of sedation depending on your level of comfort and dental fear severity. These options will alleviate any discomfort you may have and may even reduce the number of visits required to complete your dentistry.
It’s estimated that over thirty million Canadians suffer from dental anxiety. These are patients who continually cancel appointments, don’t come in for checkups and delay necessary treatment until they have a much more serious problem. If you are fearful, the first step is to let us know – our goal is to provide you with the best dental care possible and we cannot do that without you! The following are a few tips to help make your visit to our office worry-free:
Ask questions about procedures that cause you anxiety. If you know and understand what is going to happen, you’ll have less reason to worry.
Eat a light meal before your visit and try not to drink coffee, teas or colas as they stimulate you instead of relaxing you. Eating a rich protein snack to help stabilize your blood sugar and reduce irritability.
Distract yourself in the dental chair by using headphones to listen to the radio or to music you find relaxing. This will muffle noises that may bother you.
Establish a signal, such as raising your hand, to let us know you want us to stop a procedure. It will make you feel more in control and it gives you a chance to ask for more anaesthetic if you feel any discomfort.
The ways you deal with stress outside of the dental office will work inside too! Try thinking of pleasant images, deep breathing or relaxing your muscles one by one.
Some or all of these techniques may help you feel more at ease and above all, don’t be afraid to ask us for a helping hand. That’s what we’re here for!
