Meet the Dentist: Dentists are just like you!

May 2, 2023 By Delta Dental of Virginia

Getting to know your dentist can help ease dental fear and anxiety. We sat down with a practicing dentist to discuss tips to feel more comfortable at dentist appointments and his favorite candy.

If you or a loved one has a fear of the dentist, dentist appointments and procedures can be scary. One of the reasons people fear going to the dentist is because they are unfamiliar with their oral health care team. It can be daunting having to lay down on an unfamiliar chair and have a person you may have never met poking around in your mouth.

Without dental garb, tools and exams, dentists and other oral health professionals are people just like you!

In this interview, we take off the masks, put away the bright lights and sit in a comfortable chair to talk to Dr. Brad Guyton, DDS, MPH, MBA, a practicing dentist who also teaches at dental schools in Virginia and Colorado.

Check out what he has to say about being a dentist, tips to ease anxiety during dental appointments and his favorite dental jokes:
