Whether it’s been 6 months or 6 years since your last dentist visit, we’re here to help you move forward—not to look back.
A broken tooth can be painful, inconvenient, and even embarrassing—but for patients with dental anxiety, getting it treated may feel even worse than the problem itself. If you’ve been putting off care because of fear or past trauma, you’re not alone.
At The Dental Anesthesia Center in St. Louis, we understand that dental anxiety is real—and we specialize in helping people like you.
You Deserve Judgment-Free Dental Care
We know that many patients delay care out of shame or fear of being judged. Our philosophy is simple: compassion over criticism.
Whether it’s been 6 months or 6 years since your last visit, we’re here to help you move forward—not to look back.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Treat a Broken Tooth
Delaying treatment can lead to:
- Increased pain or infection
- Permanent tooth loss
- Difficulty eating or speaking
- Higher treatment costs later on
A broken tooth might start small, but without proper care, it can quickly escalate into a dental emergency.
What If Fear Is Holding You Back?
Dental anxiety can stem from:
- Previous traumatic dental experiences
- Fear of pain or needles
- Embarrassment about oral health
- Sensory overload or a severe gag reflex
- Feeling out of control in the dental chair
Whatever your reason, it’s valid—and manageable with the proper care approach.
How Sedation Dentistry Can Help
At The Dental Anesthesia Center, we offer custom sedation plans for every level of anxiety:
- Mild sedation to help you stay calm
- Moderate sedation so you’re aware but relaxed
- Deep sedation or general anesthesia so you can sleep through your visit
Our team is trained in special needs and anxiety-sensitive dentistry, and our in-house anesthesia providers ensure your comfort and safety from start to finish.
