Managing Anxiety

Dental anxiety can prevent people from seeking the care they deserve. We offer several tailored options to make you comfortable. A wonderful advancement in dentistry that we have been using for some years now is The Wand™. This is a device that electronically delivers anesthesia under a constant pressure. With the conventional syringe, fluid pressure increases when the thumb pushes the plunger. It is the increasing pressure of the anesthetic, not the needle, that hurts.

Some people are simply unable to sit through a dental appointment, and we have good news for you: we can bring in a specialist to provide sedation. We are lucky in Tucson to have several. It is a great way to do long procedures. You can just float through the appointment, while we do all the work!

Our soft touch also includes CD players and headphones, massage cushions, pillows, coffee or tea, and we will reward you at the end of your appointment with a fresh baked cookie!
