How to Overcome Dental Anxiety and Fear of the Dentist
As many as 20% of people avoid going to the dentist due to fear or anxiety. We get it. There are many other places that people would rather be than in the dental chair. Because of this we have curated every aspect of our practice to not feel like a dental office. From the way it smells to the way it looks to the way we treat our patients, our goal is to provide high level care in an inviting atmosphere. Along with that, here are 7 tips for minimizing dental anxiety.

Icon Treatment for White Spot Lesions
Whether it's after orthodontic treatment (as with this patient who came to us after completing ortho at a different practice), a result of fluorosis, or the early stages of cavities, white spot lesions are unflattering in appearance. They can also be a precursor for more involved decay. Previously, there was no effective way to treat these areas for both esthetics and prevention. Veneers or fillings are much more aggressive than is needed. Fluoride treatment can help stop the progression of decay, but it has limited impact on the appearance of these white spots. Dr. Feldman and the team at Gainesville Dentistry Co. are providers of Icon, a breakthrough micro-invasive technology for filling and reinforcing demineralized enamel without drilling or anesthesia. If you have noticed these white spots on your teeth, give us a call to see if Icon may be right for you!
