Conquer Dental Anxiety for Better Oral Health

Dentophobia is the intense fear of visiting the dentist, often triggered by past experiences, anxiety about pain, or feeling out of control. If left unaddressed, it can lead to avoiding dental care altogether, resulting in worsening oral health, tooth loss, or discomfort. Beyond physical issues, dentophobia can also affect self-confidence, making you reluctant to smile, speak, or enjoy social interactions. Dr. Mahnaz Rashti helps patients overcome these challenges with understanding, education, and gentle, personalized care.

Long-Term Impact of Dentophobia:

  • Avoiding routine dental checkups and cleanings
  • Allowing small dental issues to progress into major problems
  • Increasing risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and infection
  • Compromising overall health due to poor oral hygiene
  • Heightened embarrassment and loss of self-confidence
  • Facing more complex, costly, and lengthy treatments later
