Nervous Patients
A dental visit can be daunting for those who have a deep-rooted fear of the dentist or anxious tendencies. But, with the support of specially trained and empathetic dental professionals, you can still receive the oral care and treatments, all while feeling much more relaxed and at ease.
Treating nervous dental patients
At The Mayhill, our caring team goes the extra mile to make all experiences at the dentist positive, so you can continue to maintain an excellent level of dental health.
Experienced clinicians who will hear your concerns
Not attending appointments for general check-ups can result in cavities, abscesses and tooth loss, which is why it’s essential to go. But if you’re nervous or fearful, it’s easier said than done.
However, our friendly dental specialists take the time to listen to your concerns or phobias, no matter how small you think they are. Given their many years of experience in dentistry, they’ve likely already assisted hundreds of patients with the same fear as you.
When you come to see us, we promise that you’ll be looked after and cared for from start to finish, from our reception team to our dental experts.
Trust building
We listen before anything else, hearing your concerns and understanding how you’re feeling about visiting the dentist. Then, we’ll walk you through what will happen step by step, which can help to reduce fear of the unknown.
After, your dentist will work with you to find out how they can make your treatment feel relaxing and less stressful.
Sedation
If you suffer from severe dental anxiety or have a bad gag reflex that causes you distress, gentle dental sedation is a beneficial option that could help to make the experience calmer.
Noise cancelling headphones
We provide noise-cancelling headphones that drown out the sounds of instruments like drills, which can be unnerving to patients with dental phobias.
Extended appointments
Longer visits to our practice for treatment mean you’ll never feel rushed, and give our specialists plenty of time to ease you in and make you feel comfortable. This gradual approach has enabled nervous patients to feel more in control and less overwhelmed.
Relaxed environments
Our friendly, welcoming staff make all the difference when it comes to making nervous patients feel at ease at The Mayhill. You’ll also be given a comfortable pillow, providing more comfort while receiving treatment.
