Nervous patients
Nervous of the dentist? You're not alone
We know going to the dentist can be an anxious experience for some people. Our team takes a friendly, honest approach, and will tailor your treatment to what you need and expect.
How we help
At your pace, with no surprises
- Tell us when you book. Just say you're nervous. You don't need to explain why.
- We explain before we do. Your dentist will talk you through each step in plain words before it happens.
- You're in control. Agree a signal, such as raising your hand, and we'll stop whenever you use it.
- Honest about what you'll feel. We'll tell you what to expect, rather than promise it won't be uncomfortable.
- Small steps are fine. If you'd rather start with a check-up and a chat, that's a good start.
You might be wondering
Will you judge me if I haven't been to the dentist for years?
No. Lots of people put off the dentist. We'll simply start from where you are now and talk through what would help.
Can I just come in and talk first?
Call us and tell us you're nervous. We'll talk through how your first visit can work for you.
