Nervous Patients
We understand that coming to the dentist is a big step for many people.Don’t feel alone. Studies have shown that around a third of the population is frightened to attend.
At our practice you will never be rushed into a decision or pressurised into treatment.
There are many techniques that can be used to help overcome your fears.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be used to relieve anxiety, enhance the effects of local anaesthetic, and to manage problems associated with a prominent gag reflex.There are numerous conditions that may be appropriate to treat with acupuncture including muscle spasm, chronic stress headache and post-operative pain.
Sedation
We can arrange sedation during an appointment which means that clients are left with little or no memory of their treatment. Clients do not lose consciousness and are able to remain calm.We administer a small amount of sedative, usually into the back of the hand and whilst a client is sedated maintain continuous monitoring.
Our dentists are always assisted by a qualified dental nurse with specialist training in this area.
