Read Why Our Patients Love Us

Love Dr Fitts and the staff at East Limestone Family Dental! Always a pleasure when I visit, such friendly faces and always in good spirits!

D. J. (Verified Patient)

Everything was done in a timely fashion. The dental assistant is amazing! (Her name is Mickey.) She cleans without producing any kind of gum pain! They have updated the parking area, too. It's a great place to go to have dental work. My next visit was to have a crown. It was a perfect visit in every way. We started on time. The assistant was terrific. She explained what she was doing and had a very calming personality. I was amazed that when everything was finished, they did not need to make any adjustments. It fit perfectly! Hurray for technology and hurray for those who know how to use it! It is wonderful to be able to go in and within a couple of hours have the work completed.

Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?

What can you do to relieve dental anxiety?

We offer inhaled sedation, or laughing gas, to help eliminate any anxiety you're experiencing. This gentle sedative will give you a warm, tingly feeling all over and may even make you feel slightly giddy. We also have several cozy amenities to help you feel at home, including soft pillows, warm blankets, private patient care rooms, and TVs.

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe that a relaxing visit begins at home. If you start to feel anxious about your procedure, simply let your body go limp and take several deep breaths slowly. Picture yourself lying comfortably in our dental chair in your private care room, fully relaxed and at peace. Then, when you're actually in the office, you can use this same technique to help ease any residual anxiety.
