Does your heart race when you pass a dental surgery? Do your feet tremble at the mere mention of a dentist? Has a friend or family member literally dragged you to a dentist's surgery? If yes, then you may be suffering from dental phobia. Don't worry; there are many people, just like you, who nurse fears about dentists.
We at Windsor Dental Practice pride ourselves on our ability to deal with anxious patients. We understand and empathise with you. We do not ever rush patients into any treatment and will always take what the patients wants done into account. We treat people before we treat teeth.
The first appointment with our nervous patients is usually spent carrying our a very minor check up, getting the patient accustomed to the dental chair. We will then usually rebook the patient for a very minor treatment, which in most cases will be a polishing of the teeth unless the patient allows us to do so in the first appointment. Any extensive treatment that is needed will be done in stages.
If it is the needle you fear, we have special numbing gels can be put on the gums so no pain is felt during the injection.
If you still suffer from fear after you first few appointments we will refer you to a specialist for care under sedation. We will never force a patient to have any treatment done and will always advise.
