Dentist phobia
Dental phobia can present itself in many different ways. What might be a terrifying experience for one person is not for another. A list of some common dentist phobia’s are as follows:
- Phobia of dentist treatment in general or visiting the dentist’s surgery.
- Fear of choking.
- Needle phobia, difficulty getting numb, or fear of anaesthetic.
- Fear of the dental drill.
- Anxiety over receiving a diagnosis.
What can we do for you?
No matter what form your dental phobia takes we believe we have a solution to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your treatment. IV sedation can be very effective for most dentist phobias. This type of sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream, therefore, making it fast acting. Following this, patients should feel relaxed and in a dream like state. This service is available for all appointments, even during emergency treatment.
If you suffer from a needle phobia then the painless injection (also known as The Wand) is available. Many people who are afraid of needles have had a relaxed experience with this alternative to the traditional needle and syringe. The device looks like a pen and delivers anaesthetic in a painless, sting-free way.
We can also offer rubber dams to remove the fear of choking or swallowing dental equipment, and oral sedatives if you need sedation before you arrive at the clinic.
