Anxiety Reduction Children’s Dentistry Research Portland

The Proof is in the Pudding

Our own Dr. Baker has been and is currently conducting research on our practice’s Anxiety Reduction Program, both to document how effective it is and make it easier for us to teach fellow dental professionals how to use it.

Over the years, Dr. Baker has given presentations about her findings at both national and international professional conferences, and you’ll find a list of them below. There are certainly more to come, but be sure to reach out to our team if you’d like to learn more about Dr. Baker’s research and how it’s applied in our office day to day.
