Making trips to the dentist a positive experience for all

Many patients experience anxiety about coming to the dentist. It’s a very common fear and one that even some dentists share themselves. We’re here to help.

Nervous Patients

Feeling nervous?

When patients are nervous or have dental anxiety, it’s often because of one or more of these reasons:

  • Fear of pain
  • Fear of needles
  • Fear of embarrassment about their teeth
  • Not knowing how much it will cost
  • Memories of a previous bad experience (often in childhood) possibly with GA (gas)
  • Lack of trust in their dentist

What we can do

We can do much to combat these fears and create a positive and relaxing experience at our practice for all our patients. Modern dentistry should be pain free and carried out in a relaxed and friendly environment.

We use all the latest local anaesthetic techniques and solutions to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. We spend time with all our patients, particularly children, using the ‘show, tell, do’ technique to desensitise patients who are anxious about treatment.

For many patients, just making the first appointment can be difficult. We understand this and ask that you let our receptionist know that you feel this way, in order that the dentist can endeavour to avoid keeping you waiting too long.

Often the check-up reveals everything in your mouth is fine, even after long periods of not visiting the dentist. But please don’t worry; our dentists are sure to have seen it all before.
