#1 Cause of Dental Anxiety

Feb 23 • 1 minute read

 

Do you or your child prefer not going to the dentist or is brushing teeth an unpleasant chore?

According to most experts, the #1 cause of dental anxiety and shying away from brushing teeth is the discomfort from gagging that occurs during dental care. Gagging is your body's natural reflex against something that may be blocking your breathing. Teaching your child or yourself to breath through your nose during dental treatment or brushing teeth is an excellent way to minimize this gag reflex and making it more pleasant while you maintain your healthy smile.
