Nervous Patients

Dental Phobia Informed Care

There are times in our lives when we all experience the challenges anxiety brings. If you have a fear of the dentist, this anxiety can prevent you from getting the care you need. Ultimately, your oral health could suffer. 

We understand how difficult it is for you to face your dental phobia and come to see us for checkups or essential treatments. We want to take the time to help you and reassure you that I’ll work with you to find ways to deliver dental care without leaving you feeling scared or uncomfortable.

What Is Dental Anxiety?

Being scared of the dentist is often treated as a joke. But it’s no laughing matter if you experience high unease about visiting the dentist. 

Dental anxiety can make you nervous or uncomfortable about coming to see me, or it can make you very frightened. It may even mean you avoid dental appointments altogether. However, if you experience dental anxiety, you are not the only one. 

A phobia may mean you’ve not visited the dentist for many years. If your oral health isn’t at its best, this can add feelings of embarrassment along with anxiety, discomfort, and worsening of your oral health.

Let’s Take the Time to Talk

Although dental phobia affects a large proportion of the population, we won’t make assumptions about how it affects you. Everyone’s experience with dental anxieties is different, and you may have specific fears. We’re here to listen and support you without judgment. 

It’s often worth identifying triggers. By understanding what makes you anxious, we can adapt your treatment plan to accommodate your needs. 

Dentistry at Your Pace

I want you to feel comfortable during your time at NewDental. To help, we’ll take things at your pace. We can also discuss strategies to help you get ahead of any treatments. This could include: 

  • Distractions like listening to music or an audiobook
  • Having a close friend or family member with you for support
  • Using deep breathing and grounding techniques

I am a very nervous, anxious patient. The Reception ladies were really helpful and put my nerves at ease from the off.

Dr Nicole who I was booked in to see, met me in the waiting room introducing herself to me. Everything that Dr Nicole was going to do she explained to me. I was put at ease all through the process. Thankyou.

Dr Nicole explains everything clearly and again you are made to feel at ease. The treatments I had were carried out in a good relaxed environment, I hardly felt anything during any of my treatments and made to feel at ease throughout the treatment processes.

All the staff are extremely nice and my dentist Dr Nicole is an excellent dentist. If like me you are a nervous patient, you cannot go wrong

It’s not often you like people who cause you pain and dentists by their very nature fall firmly in this bracket but after seeing Nicole for the first time today I was deeply impressed. Talked me through the procedures and never got condescending, I must say I kinda enjoyed my time there, she seemed very competent and her manner was extremely professional. A credit to her practice and her profession.
