At Thurmaston Dental, Facial, & Implants we understand that some patients are anxious about having dental treatment.
What is dental anxiety?
Dental anxiety is a relatively common fear of coming to the dentist that can affect people of all ages. In severe cases, dental anxiety may prevent patients from coming to the dentist and having check-ups or dental treatment.
What can you do to help anxious patients?
If you are at all nervous or anxious about your dental treatment, let us know. Our understanding and experienced team take your concerns seriously. You have always assured a friendly welcome and complete confidentiality.
The practice is a relaxing environment and our aim is to make your dental experience as easy and comfortable as possible. We take time to listen and understand your anxiety by discussing your previous dental experiences.
The team will put you at ease and explain exactly what you can expect during your treatment. If appropriate, we can offer intravenous (IV) sedation, depending on your specific requirements.
Our patients often feel less anxious and concerned about their next visit through positive experiences in our calm and safe environment.
