For anxious patients
You can tell us what worries you.
Many people feel tense before a dental appointment or have put off a visit for a long time. You do not need to justify yourself for that with us.
Dental anxiety is common, and it is no reason for shame. Often there is an unpleasant experience behind it, sometimes simply the feeling of being at someone's mercy. It matters to us that you do not have that feeling with us.
If you like, we start with a pure conversation, without treatment. You talk, we listen. Only when you are ready do we look at your teeth, step by step and at your pace. You can agree a signal at any time that lets us stop immediately.
If you wish, we divide larger treatments into smaller stages and discuss before each step exactly what will happen. That way you stay in control.
What a first appointment with us looks like, from reception to saying goodbye, is described on the page Your first visit.
A brief note when booking your appointment is enough. We will then plan more time for you from the start.
