Treatment of Anxious/Nervous Patients

We are aware that many patients feel anxious or nervous when visiting the dentist and we have many ways of dealing with this anxiety including:

• Hypnotherapy (The Director of the Practice – Pat Hampson – is a registered hypnotherapist)
• Intravenous Sedation
• Relaxation Techniques
• Relaxant Medication

In addition to the techniques we can offer, our Dental Practitioners and Specialists are particularly adept at putting patients at ease, talking through treatment options and introducing treatment at a gradual pace.

Dentistry and Dental Practices have changed dramatically over the last few years and as soon as our patients come through the door we endeavor to make them feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

What is Intravenous Sedation?

An injection of a safe sedative is administered into the back of the hand and although you will be able to respond to everything we ask, the majority of patients do not feel the dental treatment or remember the session.

The sedation team is highly trained to carry out the procedure safely and efficiently.
