Dental anxiety is more common than most people think. Whether it stems from a negative experience or just a general fear of the unknown, it can keep people from receiving the care they need and deserve. At Bozeman Family Dentistry in Bozeman, MT, Dr. Cassandra Murphy has made it her mission to change how patients experience the dentist—through gentle, compassionate care tailored to each individual.
Dental anxiety is common, as much as we wish it weren’t. Some patients suffer from anxiety to the point they will not even enter a dentist’s office. Other patients are afraid of pain or needles, and others have had traumatic experiences in the past that keep them from receiving basic dental care. At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, one of our specialties is working with fearful patients to help them feel good about going to the dentist and getting the essential care they need.

At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, we are happy to provide dental care to everyone in your family, from the youngest member to the oldest. Do you have a young child in your life and you’re unsure when it is time to visit the dentist for their first appointment? We typically tell parents that children should visit the dentist when their teeth begin to emerge or around their first birthday.

We know it can be a little intimidating for children to visit the dentist for the first time, so we want to share some helpful tips.
