Dental anxiety actively prevents people from nurturing their oral health. At Crozet Family Dental, we are experts at helping you manage dental anxiety.
We explain every step before we do it — no surprises. You always know what’s coming and why.
For patients who need additional support, we offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) — safe, effective, wears off quickly, and you can drive yourself home. Benefits: rapid onset within minutes, adjustable depth throughout the appointment, no lingering hangover effect, and safe for children and adults.
For significant anxiety, we can prescribe oral sedatives to take before your appointment so you arrive relaxed.
Every member of our team — from our front desk staff to our dentists — is trained to respond to patient anxiety with patience and kindness. Call 434-823-4080.
