- Those with dental phobia are 50% more likely to develop gum disease due to missed checkups (American Dental Association).
- Patients who receive trauma-informed dental care report a 70% increase in satisfaction and trust with their provider (Journal of Dental Research).

What Makes Dynamic Dental Solutions Different?
We don’t just treat teeth—we treat people. Here’s how our approach compares to typical dental practices:
| Feature | Conventional Dentistry | Dynamic Dental Solutions |
| Initial Appointment | 15–30-minute basic exam | 90-minute holistic health intake |
| Dentist Experience | Varies; often less than 10 years | 30+ years (Dr. Sharon Dickerson) |
| Approach to Anxiety | Sedation or minimal emotional support | Trauma-informed, holistic care |
| Treatment Materials | Often includes fluoride, metal, or BPA | Non-toxic, biocompatible |
| Office Atmosphere | Standard clinical setting | Designed for sensory calm |
| Certifications | General dental credentials | Multiple holistic/biological certs |
At Dynamic Dental Solutions, you’re not a set of teeth—you’re a whole person. And your care reflects that.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Because we don’t just say we’re trauma-informed—we live it. With 30+ years of experience, a comprehensive 90-minute intake, and a team trained to support sensitive patients, our holistic approach makes even the most anxious patients feel genuinely safe, heard, and supported.
While we’re happy to discuss sedation options, most of our patients find that our calm environment, gentle techniques, and transparent communication eliminate the need for it.
Yes. We believe the foundation of good care starts with understanding your entire health picture—including emotional triggers, health history, and comfort preferences.
We combine environmental calm, mindful communication, non-invasive tools, and non-toxic materials to create an experience that supports the nervous system—not overloads it.
Not at all. Many of our patients simply feel uneasy or overstimulated at traditional dental offices. We welcome anyone seeking a gentler, more holistic approach to dental care.
