You’re Not Alone

If the thought of going to the dentist makes you feel uneasy, you’re not the only one. Dental anxiety is incredibly common—for both kids and adults. At Genesis Dental, Dr. Jonathan Lazar and his caring team understand these fears and are committed to creating a calm, supportive environment where every patient can feel comfortable.

What Causes Dental Anxiety? 🤔

Everyone’s experience is different, but some common reasons include:

• Fear of pain or discomfort

• Past negative dental experiences

• Anxiety about needles or drills

• Embarrassment about dental health

• Feeling out of control in the chair

Understanding what causes anxiety is the first step to helping patients overcome it.
