Open Communication: Be honest with the dentist about any worries or issues you may have. They can modify their technique and offer comfort, letting you feel more at ease during treatments.

Gradual Exposure: Building confidence and trust at the dentist's office by starting with simple treatments or basic exams before advancing to more complex procedures.

Relaxation Techniques: To reduce anxiety and encourage relaxation, try deep breathing, visualization, or soothing sounds before and during appointments. 

Distraction Techniques: To divert patients' attention from anxiety-inducing stimuli during procedures, several Saskatoon dental treatments provide methods like watching TV, wearing virtual reality headsets, and consuming audiobooks.

Options for Sedation: If you experience extreme anxiety, talk to your dentist about intravenous sedation, oral sedatives or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as ways to help you relax during treatments.
