Preparing the patient for painless dentistry.
Preparing the patient for painless dentistry must take into account the total patient. In addition to the physical need for anesthetic, the patient has an emotional need for a dentist who responds compassionately to anxiety. By combining the emotional and physical techniques, a dentist can provide patients with the greatest practice-builder the profession has-painless dentistry.
