Conquering Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety is an incredibly common condition that affects many Illinois men and women. At Glen Dental Center, we don’t want to see your health suffer due to overwhelming anxiety. Dr. Cohen and his staff do whatever they can to alleviate fear in patients and instill a sense of trust and comfort. For patients who have problems controlling fear, we offer sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide to create a relaxing dental experience.

Here are some techniques we use to alleviate anxiety:

• During your personal consultation, we’ll give you a tour of our office and help you to feel at home in your surroundings
• We go through your dental procedure step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect on your treatment day
• We’ll carefully explain the purpose and function of each piece of equipment used during your treatment
• We create a relaxing environment with several amenities and soothing additions with a personal concierge
• We provide support and dental education, for an environment of ongoing dental improvement
• We foster open communication and sensitivity to our patients needs and fears
