About Smile Without the Chair

Smile Without the Chair is run by A 36-year-old freelance designer in Denver who has had dental anxiety since a traumatic childhood filling at age 8. Avoided the dentist entirely for nearly a decade in her twenties and paid the price with two root canals. Now manages anxiety with a strict at-home oral care routine and only goes for absolute emergencies. Not a dentist, not a therapist, not a medical professional -- just someone who has spent years figuring out how to keep teeth healthy while avoiding the thing that terrifies her most. Has tried every at-home product, gadget, and natural remedy she could find.. We provide honest, experience-based reviews and guides to help you make informed decisions.
