Are you afraid of the dentist?

People all have their own fears, some are really common such as falling, sharks, or spiders; while some fears can be very unique and specific from a previous experience such as a car accident. For many people visiting the dentist in Mackay is their biggest fear, but maybe that just means they have not found the dentist that is right for them and their nerves. Here at Walkerston Dental, we know how important it is to create a relaxing environment for anxious patients with a fear of the dentist. We know visiting the dentist gives people the jitters sometimes, but we want to make sure that does not stop them from taking care of their teeth.

How to find the best dentist in Mackay for yourself?

Being afraid of the dentist is a very common fear for many people. But finding a dentist in Mackay that can talk you through your nerves, from the dental treatments to simple routine check-ups, can drastically change your entire dental experience. Our team at Walkerston Dental Walkerston GP SuperClinic, Queensland, can provide you with the resources, information, and calming environment to make sure you feel at ease throughout your dental procedures and check-ups. It is important to book a consultation with your new dentist to walk through any concerns, treatment details, and the recovery period before receiving any dental work from a new dentist.

Why should you visit the dentist in Mackay regularly?

Visiting the dentist regularly is just as important as any other routine check-ups with your GP. Looking after your oral health should be as important as looking after your cholesterol levels, having cancer screenings, and other necessary check-ups. Visiting the dentist for routine check-ups can prevent decay that later will lead to more invasive oral treatments. While many people brush and floss at home, they do not have the tools to detect early signs of gum disease and tooth decay that the dentists have. If you are afraid of the dentist, then you should visit the dentist more frequently, as a simple routine check-up will be far less scary than a treatment due to undetected tooth decay.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
