Your Dentist Is Your Friend!

In movies and on TV, we see dentists portrayed as mean, unintelligent, or greedy. In real life, though, dentists are some of the most caring people in the healthcare world. They sincerely want their patients to be happy, healthy, and free of pain. That’s especially true at Smiles by Holsinger & Higgins in Denton, MD. 

Compassionate Care for the Whole Family

With the way Hollywood portrays dentists, it’s no surprise that some people get nervous about going to the dentist. The reality is that dentists want only to help their patients, never harm them. At Smile by Holsinger & Higgins, we have many techniques and practices to help anyone deal with their fear of the dentist and get them the vital care they need.

Everyone needs and deserves high-quality dental care, from toddlers to grandparents. That’s why we treat all patients with the utmost kindness and respect. Children and fearful patients especially can feel at ease in our care, knowing that we will do everything in our power to make them comfortable and relaxed.

We Understand Patients

1. We like to talk: Talking to our patients before we do anything is important to us. Not only does it help us understand their needs and desires, but it’s also a chance to get to know each other better. Patients usually feel more at ease after a friendly conversation.
2. We like to listen: Sometimes, all a patient wants is for their dentist to listen to them, and we’re happy to oblige. We view dental care as a partnership between the patient and their dental care team.
3. We like to take things slowly: For many patients, the dentist’s office can be overwhelming. We will work at a pace that’s comfortable for them, explain what’s happening every step of the way, and take breaks whenever they need us to.
4. We like comfort: Our office is designed to make patients feel at home and comfortable. We offer blankets, pillows, heated neck rolls, and lemongrass towels to make patients as comfortable as possible.
5. We like to relax: With various relaxation options available, including Nucalm, nitrous oxide gas, and oral conscious sedation, we have a solution for every patient’s needs. Treatment is always pain and stress free at our office.
