<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At our <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/general-dentistry/" class="rank-math-link">Ontario biological dental clinic</a> we know that dental anxiety is a common issue. The Journal of the Canadian Dental Association has found that up to 22% of dental patients experience anxiety when going to the dentist. Our team at Junction Family Dental wants you to know that if you experience such anxiety, we empathize with you. We want to make sure that your experience with our wholistic dentistry is as stress-free and relaxing as can be for your entire time here at our clinic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fear of going to the dentist and experiencing dental anxiety stops many patients from receiving important routine checkups that can help prevent more severe oral and overall health issues from occurring down the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>We understand how crucial it is to reduce dental anxiety for all of our patients.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We implement tools and strategies at our clinic to help with this anxiety, as we know this is a big obstacle for many. We make sure to make our dentistry less clinic-like and more relaxing, like a spa. We provide blankets for comfort, TV’s for our patients to watch anything of their choosing and noise-cancelling earphones to help with blocking out loud sounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://thejunction.dentist/coconut-oil-pulling-as-a-holistic-prevention-for-tooth-decay/" class="rank-math-link"><strong>Essential oils</strong></a> are diffused throughout our clinic to calm the senses and Himalayan salt lamps provide a welcoming ambience. Our beverage bar offers natural spring water, sparkling water and organic juice for your refreshment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We want your dental appointments to be an experience to look forward to. Sedation dentistry is an option for patients with severe dental anxiety and we also have a therapy dog (booked in advance) whose only job is to make you happy :)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Besides creating a spa-like atmosphere for our patients, we make sure to take oral care at each of our patient's own pace.
