At Rothfus Family Dental, we understand that fear or anxiety can prevent patients from getting the dental care they need. Dentistry shouldn’t be something you dread — and thanks to modern dental techniques and technology, we make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Our Goal: Reduce Your Stress at the Dentist
From the moment you walk through our doors, our goal is to make you feel welcome and at ease. Warm smiles, inviting décor, and minimal waiting times help start your visit on a positive note. While you’re here, you can watch your favorite show on overhead TVs while listening with headphones to stay relaxed during procedures. Our team performs treatments efficiently and gently, valuing both your time and comfort.
Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”)
For patients who need extra help with dental anxiety, nitrous oxide is available. This safe, calming gas helps reduce stress during your procedure. You breathe it through a mask, and once the treatment is over, oxygen quickly flushes the gas from your system. You’re free to leave and resume your day comfortably, without assistance.
Oral Medication for Anxiety
If you prefer additional support, Dr. Rothfus can prescribe medication to help reduce stress before your appointment. Taken the night before and an hour prior to your visit, this option helps patients arrive relaxed and ready for care. A driver is required, but it allows even the most nervous patients to receive the treatment they need with peace of mind.
