Dentist – fear or anxiety as an obstacle?
Are you nervous about fixing your teeth, doing any other procedure, or going to the dentist in the first place?
Hammas Mehiläinen's dentists understand that seeing a dentist can be frightening. Our competent and friendly dentists will also take care of good pain relief throughout the procedure.
