Overcoming Dental Anxiety at Serenity Smiles Dental Care in Murfreesboro, TN

At Serenity Smiles Dental Care, we understand that dental anxiety is a very real concern for many patients. Whether it's the sound of dental tools, the fear of pain, or previous bad experiences, these feelings can prevent individuals from getting the oral care they need. Dr. Burns and our caring team are committed to creating a relaxed, comfortable environment where every patient can feel at ease, especially those who struggle with anxiety.

What is Dental Anxiety?

Dental anxiety refers to the fear or stress associated with visiting the dentist. It's more common than you might think and can range from mild unease to severe phobia. If you’ve ever delayed or avoided necessary dental treatments due to fear, you’re not alone. At Serenity Smiles Dental Care, we take extra steps to ensure that our anxious patients feel supported every step of the way.
