Many people feel nervous about dental treatment, whether due to past experiences, fear of pain, or simply not knowing what to expect.

But understanding this fear and addressing it is the first step to overcoming it.

When we face something stressful—like a trip to the dentist—our body releases stress hormones that trigger anxiety, increased heart rate, and muscle tension.

But the good news is:

You can train your body to relax and lower that anxiety response.

From controlled breathing and muscle relaxation to distraction technique and frequent breaks…

At Market Street Dental Care, we take extra steps to ensure your experience is as calm, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
