Dental visits can cause anxiety for many individuals, often resulting in delayed or missed essential dental care. At Jahyun Koo DDS, we understand these concerns and are here to help you have a comfortable and relaxing visit. 

Here are a few approaches to help you manage dental anxiety and create a more positive experience. 

Share Your Concerns

A key step in managing dental anxiety is openly discussing your fears with our team. 

Whether you’re uneasy about specific procedures, the sounds of dental equipment, or simply the overall experience, letting us know helps us adapt your treatment to better suit your comfort level. We’re here to listen and make modifications that will give you a greater sense of control during your visit.

Explore Sedation Options

For those who experience significant anxiety, sedation dentistry can be an excellent way to reduce stress during treatment. We offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (often referred to as laughing gas), aimed at keeping you calm and relaxed, making it easier for you to receive the necessary care without added anxiety.

Rely on Our Caring Staff

The warm and compassionate team at Jahyun Koo DDS is devoted to ensuring your dental visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 

We take the time to get to know you and understand your concerns, providing gentle care and reassurance throughout your appointment. You’ll find that our supportive approach makes a real difference in helping you feel at ease. 

Choose the Right Appointment Time

Scheduling your dental visit at a time when you’re generally more relaxed and not pressed for time can significantly ease your anxiety. 

Early morning or late afternoon appointments, when you have fewer demands on your time, can help make the experience more manageable. 

Our aim is to make sure your dental visit is a positive experience. 

We’re committed to helping you overcome dental anxiety so you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile. Call Jahyun Koo DDS today at 206-922-4573 for an appointment in Seattle, WA. You can also schedule online.
