Top 10 Dental FEARS 06/26/2025

Top 10 Dental FEARS Atlanta Dental Spa Podcast – Episode 2 Top 10 Dental Fears Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Shiven Gandhi ___ Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Shiven Gandhi return to tackle one of the biggest obstacles in dentistry: fear. From the sound of the drill to the fear of pain, needles, or even bad news, many patients avoid dental visits out of anxiety. In this episode, they break down the Top 10 Dental Fears and share how modern dentistry, compassionate care, and thoughtful technology have transformed the patient experience. Dr. Gandhi explains the science behind sedation options (including IV sedation), what causes anesthesia to “not work,” and how Atlanta Dental Spa uses comfort-based design and advanced tools to make even the most nervous patients feel at ease. Whether you’ve been avoiding the dentist for years or are just curious how far dentistry has come, this episode will give you hope and real solutions. ___ TAKEAWAYS Fear of pain is valid but modern anesthesia and techniques make it avoidable. IV sedation is one of the most powerful tools for high-anxiety patients. Topical numbing gels, smaller-gauge needles, and breathing exercises can reduce injection discomfort. The sound and smell of dental offices have changed so no more “scary drill” or eugenol triggers. Fear of diagnosis is real, but delaying care often leads to worse news (and higher costs). Atlanta Dental Spa designs every part of the experience, from lighting to music, with patient comfort in mind. Only 3–4% of dentists in Georgia can provide IV sedation. ADS has them at all 5 locations. ___ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Welcome & Intro to Dental Fears 01:00 – Why fear of pain is still the #1 dental anxiety 03:00 – Why tooth pain feels so intense 04:00 – Advances in anesthesia and numbing techniques 06:00 – Fear of needles: what we do differently 07:30 – Why anesthetic sometimes “doesn’t work” 09:00 – Understanding the fight-or-flight response 10:00 – Breaking the fear cycle with IV sedation 12:00 – Different levels of sedation explained 14:00 – How sedation helps even during cleanings 15:00 – Fear of sound: what we’ve done to quiet the drill 16:00 – Fear of smell: why you don’t smell “the dentist” at ADS 17:00 – Fear of diagnosis: how we handle tough news with compassion 18:00 – Why delaying dental care makes things worse 19:00 – Final thoughts on transforming the dental experience ___ 📞 Contact Us (404) 816-2230 📲 Stay Connected 📍 Locations: Buckhead | Poncey-Highlands | Johns Creek | East Cobb | Brookhaven /episode/index/show/2de34868-6a26-4870-a8d3-9d4dbc7799a1/id/37167985

This candid, patient-focused conversation tackles everything from flossing techniques and whitening toothpaste myths to how oral health connects to systemic health. With humor, clarity, and expert insight, Dr. Boulden and Dr. Gandhi demystify common misconceptions in dentistry and explain how modern advancements like 3D scanning, AI-driven cavity detection, and oral DNA testing are changing the way patients experience dental care. Whether you're overdue for a checkup or just want to better understand what’s going on in your mouth, this episode is full of takeaways you’ll want to hear. ___ TAKEAWAYS Your mouth is connected to your whole-body health. The best at-home routine? Floss, brush, irrigate (FBI). Whitening toothpaste can be too abrasive especially with veneers. “A little pink in the sink” isn't normal. Bleeding gums are a red flag. Dental sealants are a painless way to prevent cavities. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel, especially when applied topically. Pain that lingers more than 30 seconds? Time to call the dentist.
