Do you fear the dentist?You are not alone and having this fear is nothing to be ashamed of! Fear of dental procedures is extremely common. From mild discomfort to all out phobias, this fear makes it difficult for many patients to get the regular dental care they need to maintain a healthy mouth and healthy body. Avoiding dental visits is detrimental and may result in more invasive, painful, and expensive treatments later on.

Aleshia has spent over 30 years working with people who are uncomfortable or have a true fear of the dentist, and will help you have a relaxing and educational experience. Some of the techniques that Aleshia uses include:

  • Above all, giving YOU the control. You canstop the procedure at any time you feel uncomfortable, and take as many breaks as you need. A non-verbal cue, such as raising the left hand when you need to stop, is determined before starting the procedure.
  • If you brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, you will brush your teeth for about 24 hours each year, or 76 days over the course of your life! All this brushing will use about 20 gallons of toothpaste.

    If I could give more stars I would. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze, and I was seen in less than 12 days! She did a really awesome job talking me through everything and made sure I was comfortable. I feel like I have a whole new smile! I'll go back here forever and recommend her to anyone

    Aleshia is amazing! She scheduled me right in and was very thoughtful, thorough, and informative. It was an enjoyable cleaning experience. She was very pleasant and educated me on ways to clean my teeth at home that I never knew. I look forward to going back in the future.

    Aleshia was great! She was able to fit me into her schedule for an "emergency" cleaning the week of my wedding. The cleaning was thorough and she managed to get me out in under an hour (so I was able to get to my next appointment on time). My teeth look great and she provided helpful advice.

    My teeth feel great and like others have said here, this was the best cleaning I've EVER had. In addition to taking the time and effort for a thorough cleaning, Aleshia made sure I was aware of what I needed to do to maintain my dental health with information about cleaning techniques and which areas I need to pay better attention to. I thought the price was fair and the work exceptional.

    Such a thorough, informative, and enjoyable cleaning with an exceptionally thorough oral cancer screening! Aleshia was so gentle and pleasant, and the office was lovely. I am looking forward to going back.

    I had a great experience here! Aleshia was very gentle and easy to talk to, reassured me a lot about my teeth and even taught me things about flossing and brushing I never knew!

    I'm a fan of a good smile and sometimes one just wants to get their chompers professionally cleaned without all the extra$. So happy that I found Figgins Dental Hygiene Care...give it a go!

    Aleshia did the best job I've ever had, of cleaning my teeth and checking my mouth for cancer or other abnormalities. She was kind, informative and very pleasant to work with. The warm rice bag, under the back of my neck to start, was a luxury and very comforting. I think anyone, especially those with anxiety about dental work of any kind, would feel very relaxed with her. From her pleasant office to her wonderful manner and the skill and experience brought to effectively working in my mouth, I very highly recommend her.

    Aleshia is truly amazing! I have been to many dentists and never have I been treated so compassionately. Her skill and knowledge is 5 plus. It was truly the best cleaning I have ever had with very little discomfort afterward. I won't be going anywhere else from now on.

    My husband and I have begun coming to Aleshia for our regular cleanings and liked our care so much we now bring all 6 of our kiddos to have their teeth cleaned as well! Aleshia is very thorough and patient. She makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. We highly recommend her!

    Aleshia is the best dental hygienist I've ever been too. She is exceptionally thorough and gentle at the same time. I developed a jaw infection from a botched tooth extraction done by a non-local dentist several months ago and and my teeth get very stained from the medicated mouthwash I have to use. Aleshia cleans it off each time, returning my teeth to sparkling white, while miraculously not aggravating the pain in my jaw. She also usually has really helpful suggestions for tooth cleaning products to deal with whatever particular problem area I'm dealing with at the moment. I have recommended her to my friends and family and would basically recommend her to anyone who has teeth!
