We are very good at treating patients for whom dental treatment induces anxiety, stress, fear and worse! Nervous patients come in all guises. Some cannot even walk through the door into a dental office, others, shrug it off and pretend they’re okay whilst their heart rate goes up, their skin turns cold and their muscles tense.
We like treating nervous patients because getting the nervous individual through their dental treatment is immensely satisfying. It makes us feel special!
There are a number of ways to help the dental phobic individuals overcome their dental fears. Below is a number of ways in which we can help.
No pain. All of our procedures including our injections are painless.
Being sympathetic, caring, and very, very gentle.
Knowledge is empowerment. Knowing what is going to happen to you can often dispel an unwarranted perceived fear.
In extreme cases of anxiety patients will be referred to aesthetic clinic for Sedation and to Hospital for general anaesthetics.
