Many nervous patients in Marylebone tend to put off important treatments that can restore the health of their smile simply because they are too anxious to go through with the treatment process.

This can have serious detrimental impacts on your overall health and wellbeing. It can also impact your self confidence as your smile is not as healthy or beautiful as it can be.

What are some of the treatments we can provide you?

One of the most effective means to ensure that our patients are relaxed during a treatment is by using conscious sedation. With either intravenous or oral sedation, you can relax and be at peace whilst you undergo your dental treatment. This enables us to work swiftly without concern for your anxiety or fears, providing you with the best outcome as well.

It is also important that you think about why you are feeling the way you are and so you can potentially begin to overcome these fears in your own way and in your own time. By reading through some resources and understanding the processes that we go through, you may find that you can educate yourself out of your fear.

Each individual is different however, so we urge you to work with the tools that are available to you and that you are comfortable with using to ensure that you are able to keep your smile healthy.

Why are some people afraid of the dentist?

As each individual is different, the reasons behind their fears are just as unique as well. You may have some irrational fear of the dentist that you are unable to explain or it may have stemmed from a bad experience in the past.

Some children develop a fear of the dentist purely from listening to adults and their ‘survival stories’, or because they did not go to the dentist very often as they were growing up and therefore found the experience to be daunting.

Whatever the reason, trust that we are here to help. We urge you to come in and speak with us about your concerns so that we can restore your smile to full functionality again and so you can enjoy your smile. It is important to come in to see your dentist every 6 months to reduce the need for any restorative work. Little and often is a recipe for success that we are inspired by.
