Beating your dental fear

Many people do not seek a dentist until they are in extreme pain …….. 

when it’s too late.

Are you one of many people who are nervous about any aspects of dental treatment, like:

                

□ Gagging when an instrument is in your mouth?    

□ The scraping sound when teeth are being cleaned?

□ The noise of tooth being drilled for a filling?

□ Feeling out of control when a tooth is being removed or lying back in the chair?

□ Hate having an injection in your mouth?                

If so, FEAR NOT! We can help people with similar concerns or any other forms of dental fear. 

For such people there are different forms of dental sedation. This helps relieve their dental anxiety and feel confident about future dental visits.

There are many forms of dental sedation that are available:

1. Oral sedation – a tablet is swallowed an hour before the dental appointment which helps to calm the person before any dental work is started.

2. Intravenous sedation – for a very anxious person this form of sedation allows dental treatment to be carried out with ease.

3. Gas and air sedation – is usually best for children under 16.

4. Hypnotherapy – some people may find this form of relaxation helpful for certain dental procedures.

Above all, the fact that a helpful and friendly attitude of our dental team in Twickenham has been fantastic in making people feel very safe and comfortable, is of paramount importance.
