Overcoming Dental Anxiety at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry

Dental anxiety impacts many people, including some Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry patients. Today’s post answers some questions asked about this vital topic.

What Are Long-term Consequences of Dental Anxiety?

The most detrimental consequence is when a patient delays dental care until a pain becomes excruciating. At this point, the trouble is usually extremely advanced and requires extensive treatment. Moreover, there are usually many other dental problems in varying stages of progression. Several oral conditions at once can risk general health and well-being, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

Schedule an appointment with Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park. There are several specific fears associated with dental anxiety and dental phobia. Fear of pain, fear of the unknown, fear of loss of control, and embarrassment because of poor dental health are the most prevalent concerns. During your consultation, we will address each of your particular fears and discuss how we can help you to overcome them.

We have helped many patients in overcoming dental anxiety during dental exams and treatment. First off, we take things slowly. We explain exactly what is going to happen before each procedure. Furthermore, we always treat our patients with compassion, because we care about them. Lastly, we agree upon a nonverbal signal, such as raising a hand, to cue the dentist to remove the instrument from the patient’s mouth. Then he/she can take a break, breathe deeply, regain composure, ask questions, and learn the status of the procedure.

These methods go a long way to calm anxious dental patients. At the very least, they help the patient get through a treatment that is necessary. With each subsequent visit, the patient is comforted by increased familiarity, greater confidence, and a strengthened relationship with our friendly and thorough team. To learn more about overcoming dental anxiety or any other dental topic, please call Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 616-784-2377.

We Will Evaluate Your Teeth – You Evaluate Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry

A simple way for Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI, residents to choose beverages that won’t harm their teeth is to keep it simple and make water their go-to drink. However, for safety, thrift, and convenience, many dental patients choose to drink bottled water or filter it themselves at home.
Water filters that carry the ADA seal, don’t remove fluoride so you can be sure that the fluoride is still in your water and benefitting your teeth.
Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull are passionate about helping our patients have healthy mouths and beautiful smiles. Contact us today at 616-784-2377 and we can answer any questions you have about dental health, cosmetic dentistry, or smile makeovers.
We have been serving the Comstock Park area since 1974, and we would love to make you another one of our satisfied patients. If you’re wondering about fluoride and tooth decay, or dental veneers and teeth whitening in Comstock Park, we’d be happy to schedule a consultation for you. Call now!

Looking For A Great Dentist In Grand Rapids?

Finding a fantastic dentist in Grand Rapids is often achieved with a personal recommendation.

Friday Hours Are Here with Dr. Eric Hull

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Eric Hull will be joining us on Fridays. Many of our patients can only come in on Fridays, and to meet those needs Dr. Hull will be here from 7:00 am to noon, with the possibility of expanding those hours as demand dictates.

Originally from Midland, Michigan, Dr. Hull graduated from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota with a major in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. From there he moved to Loma Linda, California and attended the University of Loma Linda School of Dentistry. Dr. Hull chose Loma Linda for his dental education partially because of their emphasis on clinical experience. At both Loma Linda School of Dentistry and Bethel University, Dr. Hull was consistently on the Dean’s List. While a student at Loma Linda, Dr. Hull went on a two week service learning trip to San Marcos, Nicaragua where he performed extractions and restorations. He also worked at a free dental clinic for the underserved in San Bernardino, participated in Loma Linda’s “Clinic with a Heart”, and worked at a free dental clinic for migrant workers.

We are proud of Dr. Hull’s accomplishments and commitment to good dentistry and feel fortunate to have him working with us.

Fun in Chicago with Dr. Stewart and staff!

Repeating a hit from last year, Dr. Bruce Stewart’s office had a staff outing to Chicago last weekend. The staff took the train to Chicago early Friday morning and returned later Saturday night. The weather cooperated and added to the enjoyment of all as we checked out some of Chicago’s newest and oldest stores, looking for bargains and unusual items for children and grandchildren back home. Friday night we gathered for a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant. After hours of conversations and laughter, the trip back was much quieter than the trip down. A great time was had by all!

Christmas Ornaments Are Coming!

We are pleased to announce that the beautiful hand blown glass ornaments that have decorated Dr. Bruce Stewart’s office the past two years are back! Women at Risk International installed the decorated Christmas tree on November 18, and it looks beautiful. The ornaments on our tree are made in Egypt and include several different shapes, such as humming birds, and all sell for $15. This annual fundraiser for WAR International places roughly 450 decorated trees around Grand Rapids in various offices. WAR International raises money to help educate women and children in underdeveloped countries and helps them escape human trafficking and slavery.

Many of our patients were sorry to have missed the opportunity to purchase these unique ornaments when they found out about them last January. If you have never seen the ornaments, please come in and take a look. They make beautiful Christmas and hostess gifts, and help a wonderful cause. The ornaments may also be purchased at the WAR Boutique in Rockford or Wyoming. You can see what they look like or learn more about this great organization by visiting the Women at Risk International website.

Thank you so much for your support this holiday season. Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
