Are you among the millions of Canadians who feel nervous about visiting the dentist? You're not alone. Dental anxiety affects an estimated 36% of the population, with some experiencing severe dental phobia. At Flawless Dental Care, we understand these feelings and are committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health while feeling completely at ease.
Understanding Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety can stem from various sources:
Previous negative experiences
Fear of pain or injections
Feeling loss of control
Embarrassment about oral health condition
Sensory concerns (sounds, smells, or tastes)
Left unaddressed, dental anxiety can create a vicious cycle: avoiding dental visits leads to poorer oral health, which then requires more extensive treatment, potentially reinforcing the initial anxiety.

We offer various levels of sedation to suit your needs:

Oral sedation for moderate anxiety
IV sedation for severe anxiety or complex procedures
