Let’s be honest: going to the dentist can be scary. In fact, 73% of people feel anxious or nervous about dental visits (source).
A big part of that fear comes from feeling out of control—uncertain about what’s happening, confused by medical jargon, or worried about surprises during treatment.

Sarah hasn’t been to the dentist in years. Every time she thinks about scheduling an appointment, anxiety creeps in.
