Need help finding a local dentist I have severe medical anxiety which extends to dental care and am worried about having a dentist who is clumsy or uncaring. Im in my 20s and have bad gum recession from grinding and need to see a dentist about it does anyone know a good dentist and/or periodontist who is empathetic of people with anxiety and careful with sensitive mouths?

I go to [Kurt Peterson who's downtown](https://www.petersondental.com/). Staff there was amazing - I was pretty anxious when I first went there since I haven't seen a dentist in a long time. They were friendly, understanding, and they asked me early on if I preferred to know more or less and they would talk me through what's happening etc (I preferred more info). Absolute pros. When I first called, they were only accepting new clients based on referrals. If you're planning on calling them, pm me and let me know.
Hey Spokane friends...does anyone have a recommendation for a dentist that is good with sedation and anxious patients? Preferrably one who give a cash discount for uninsured patients?
