Dr. Arnaud specializes in the treatment of dental fear and dental phobia. She is a certified hypnotherapist through ASCH (The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis). She utilizes hypnosis, as well as relaxation and breathing techniques and desensitization to help patients work through fears that may be associated with dental procedures.

Our office uses a team approach that creates a welcoming, relaxing and comfortable environment where you can ask questions, discuss your history and express your fears and concerns.

We feel that it is important for you to work through these fears and/or phobias , so that you may receive regular and preventive dental care. If not, you are at higher risk for discomfort and disease:

	Unhealthy gums and teeth can lead to unnecessary tooth loss, which affects your overall health.
	Your ability to chew and digest properly can lead to poor nutrition, the inability to enjoy eating and discomfort.
	Loss of your smile's beauty, with possible undermining of self-confidence.

We have an holistic orientation toward dental care and overall health. We perform gum disease and oral cancer screenings for every patient, in addition to complete dental and periodontal exams. We listen closely to your questions, your needs and your desires for proper, pleasant, painless and positive dental care!

We stay up-to-date with new dental developments and techniques. With our qualified and compassionate dentistry, we can help you to successfully work through your fears in order to gain a winning smile and dental health!

	HYPNOSIS, if desired and/or requested
