Nervous Patients

Your way to a winning smile – no worries!

Even our most anxious patients have been won over by our successful blend of compassionate skills and training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This is a system of extraordinarily effective, non-invasive therapy proven to help people lead better, fuller and richer lives. It has certainly helped us to transform dental dread into a happy, healthy, pain-free future for many of our patients.  

You are always in control

The first step is always the hardest: making the initial phone call and crossing the threshold. However, once you have done this, you will find a warm and supportive welcome from us all. If you prefer, you can just sit and discuss your concerns; you set the pace at every stage. If it would help, this can be done with a nurse as a complimentary consultation in a non-clinical environment. Once you feel that we fully understand your worries and can really help you, you may feel happy to take another step which can be as simple as returning for oral health advice, or to have a single confidence-building treatment such as having your teeth polished or a simple sealant filling.

Would relaxation help?

If, together, we agree that hypnotherapy would help, we can arrange for a hypnotherapist to visit you in the comfort of our practice. Or, perhaps, oral sedation or conscious sedation administered by a consultant anaesthetist may be the best way forward. Rest assured, we have the time and methods to help restore your confidence that painless dentistry is possible. No step is taken without your full agreement and out total support.
