At Yarra Smiles, many patients come to us with anxiety about pain during dental appointments. We prioritise your comfort and well-being during dental treatment and are happy to address your concerns before we begin treatment.

Modern dentistry has made significant advances in minimising discomfort. Our dentist uses various techniques to ensure patients are as comfortable as possible while with us.

Local anaesthetic effectively numbs the treatment area, which means you shouldn’t feel any pain during most dental procedures, such as fillings, crowns, extractions or root canals. 

It’s also worth noting that some discomfort after certain dental procedures is normal. However, your dentist will provide you with care instructions and, if necessary, recommend medication to help manage any soreness or swelling.

To further reduce the likelihood of discomfort, it’s important to follow your dentist’s advice about home care and attend regular check-ups. This helps prevent more complex conditions that require extensive treatment.

Remember, the key to a pain-free dental experience is open communication. Always share your concerns with your dentist, who is committed to tailoring their approach to suit your needs.
