To suggest that dental anxiety could be harmful to your health may sound contradictory on the surface. After all, fear can actually be a healthy way to avoid danger and keep you safer. But when fear becomes irrational, it can interfere with things that would actually keep you from harm.

Dental anxiety is a perfect example of how this happens. It’s a fear that millions of people have, so while fairly common, it can stand in the way of good oral health. That’s why our team at Times Square Dental wants to share today’s blog with you.

We are so excited to welcome in a new season here at Times Square Dental because it’s the perfect time to help patients get the beautiful, healthy smiles they’ve always wanted. The weather and the autumn leaves aren’t the only changes taking place over the next few weeks.

It’s also a great chance to put yourself on top of the priority list before the holiday season becomes too hectic to give your wants and needs a second thought. Before you know it, you’ll be trading in those light jackets for gloves and scarves and the shopping centers will be trimmed with garland and twinkling lights.

Maybe it sounds a bit contradictory to suggest that you can prepare for a dental emergency. Isn’t something considered an emergency precisely because you didn’t plan it?

Perhaps. But as with any other type of emergency, medical or otherwise, having a plan in place ahead of time can help things go more smoothly if and when accidents occur.

When it comes to dental emergencies, specifically, knowing what to do can mean the difference between saving a tooth or losing it for good. That’s why our team at Times Square Dental wants to share today’s blog with you about ways to prepare for a dental emergency so you can stay calm, follow some simple steps, and possibly save your smile while you wait to be treated in our Boise, ID dental office.
