What Causes Dental Anxiety?

Dental anxiety is individual to each and every patient, and we always treat it as such. However, there are some common reasons patients may suffer from dental anxiety such as:

• Outdated worries about the tools used.
  
• The treatment will be painful.
  
• A previous bad dental experience.
  
• Hearing about someone else’s bad dental experience.
• Improve eating ability.
• Reading about bad dental experiences.
• Worry about being judged by the dentist.
• The sound of dental instruments.

These important check-ups are essential to your oral health as they enable us to pick up any problems early. You’ll see us at regular intervals for these appointments and our friendly dentists will educate and enlighten you to ensure we get the best from your teeth!

Our dentists are also highly trained in providing dental‍care for children. They will educate and if needed treat children‍of almost any age!

Here are some strategies we may suggest to help you overcome your anxiety:

• Enabling you to visit the dental clinic at an arranged time for a friendly chat without an examination or any treatment.
  
• Explaining the latest tools and treatments and how advanced, and pain free they are.
  
• Replacing your negative dental experiences with positive, comfortable experiences.
  
• Catering for your personal needs to ensure 100% comfort.
• Methods to reduce the sound of treatment.
