Dental Anxiety Options, Fear Of the Dentist

Dental anxiety or dental fear is what keeps 9% to 15% of Americans from receiving dental care each year.

I visited their new location and the first thing I noticed was the smell of pumpkin spice candles when I walked in the door. The waiting room is homey and their television is set to HGTV. Makes the wait very pleasant!
