Do you feel extremely nervous about the dentist and avoid coming to our office altogether? If this describes you, then you are not alone. Millions of Americans experience some form of dental anxiety, which keeps them from receiving the care and treatment they need for optimum oral health. When you repeatedly delay or cancel dentist visits, it creates a vicious cycle of avoidance, leading to potential dental emergencies and lengthy treatments, which brings back the nervous feelings and avoidance again. If dental anxiety is a concern for you or a loved one, we offer sedation dentistry at our office to help you get the care you need.
Do you long for a dentist who makes you feel like they truly care about you and your family and meeting everyone’s needs? At Pollard Dental, located in beautiful Silverdale, WA, we are committed to giving you and your children the absolute best in service, value, and quality.
