Nervous Patients

Visiting a dentist can be difficult for some people. They may feel nervous and anxious, have had a bad experience, have a phobia of dental treatment, or dislike having check-ups and dental treatment.

At DNTL Smiles & Wellness, we understand that not everyone feels comfortable attending appointments. Our team will do everything possible to make you feel as relaxed as possible.

We believe it is essential for patients to feel safe and cared for at all times, particularly when they may have a fear or dislike of dentists.

Our dentists are trained to address patients’ dental phobias and have undertaken additional qualifications to ensure they can meet all patients’ needs.

We aim to make you feel relaxed and worry-free when you visit our practice and offer the following to nervous patients:

• Intravenous sedation is a technique that puts patients into a deep state of relaxation before any treatment. They remain awake and can cooperate with instructions, but will not remember the details of the procedure.
• For patients who dislike the sound of a dental drill, we can utilise the latest electronic handpieces to reduce noise and vibrations.
• Laser treatments can help prevent the need for a drill and facilitate soft tissue treatments.
• Aquacut polishing enables us to treat minor cavities without the need for local anaesthetics or drills, while still placing an effective filling.

If you are a nervous patient, please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss how we can support you.
