Fear & Anxiety Management

Understanding Fear and Dental Anxiety

It’s natural for children to feel nervous about visiting the dentist — unfamiliar sounds, new faces, and bright lights can easily trigger fear or anxiety. If not properly managed, these early experiences can lead to dental phobia, a long-term fear that may keep children from getting the care they need as they grow.

At Little GiGi, we believe a child’s FIRST dental visit should be filled with comfort, curiosity, and fun — never fear. Our thoughtfully crafted Starter Plan focuses on helping children feel safe and fun before, during, and after their appointment.

Through gentle communication, play-based introductions, sensory-friendly environments, and positive reinforcement, we gradually build trust and help children form happy dental memories.

Thanks to Little GiGi apporach, most children are calm, comfortable and confident in our practice. In rare cases children may feel anxious before or during treatment.

Nitrous Oxide, also known as relaxing gas, is a safe and effective sedative agent used to calm a child's fear of dental visit and enhance effective communication.

At Little GiGi, we use the latest cutting-edge technology to ensure every treatment is as gentle as possible. Our computer-controlled drug delivery system, powered by Dynamic Pressure Sensing (DPS) technology, allows for the safe and virtually painless administration of local anaesthetics. This advanced system precisely controls pressure and flow, minimizing discomfort and reducing unwanted numbness — making dental care more comfortable than ever.
