Understanding Your Dental Anxiety & Trauma
We know that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming, scary, or even triggering. Maybe you:
- Have had a painful or traumatic experience in the past, and now the thought of another appointment brings up intense fear.
- Felt dismissed or unheard by a previous provider, leaving you worried your concerns won’t be respected.
- Feel financial stress, especially if you’re unsure whether treatment recommendations are truly transparent and in your best interest.
Over the years, Dr. Mitchell Tung has recognized how deeply dental anxiety and trauma can affect patients' quality of life. That's why he reached out to me, Buu Dao, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who specializes in trauma and anxiety, to offer gentle, evidence-based support that honours your story and helps make dental care feel more manageable.
Our goal is to not let dental anxiety stop anyone from getting the care they need.
To do that, we plan to:
- Talk to Understand: 30 Minute Conversation with Buu to understand your anxiety.
- Accommodate Your Needs: Coordination with the dental team to structure appointments to accommodate your needs.
- Provide Resources for Further Support: Individualized tools to help you handle dental anxiety and trauma in the future.
