Dentophobic and Anxious Patients

Dentophobia is fear of dentistry and is very prevalent. We take immense pride in providing a great experience in the dental chair and make every possible effort to make you comfortable in the dental chair. We listen to you and your concerns and talk you through everything that is going to happen so that you understand the oral health benefit that will result from the treatment.

One of the major reasons not to visit the dentist is anxiety and fear of dental treatment. While dental anxiety is understandable, the longer we leave the dental issues worse they become and with time anxiety/fear grows. For extremely nervous and anxious patients we offer treatments under either laughing gas (nitrous oxide), anxiolytic drugs or under general anaesthetic in the hospital with additional costs.
