COSMETIC DENTISTRY . Twyford

Nervous patients

Here at Twyford Dental we appreciate that many people may be nervous about seeing a dentist, indeed for a chat, or worse for treatment.

This may be due to past bad experiences in childhood. We'll start by having an initial consultation with you (that may not involve even looking into your mouth) – just to discuss your fears, and offer you a variety of methods to overcome your fears of dentistry.

Nervous patients

Why are people scared of the dentist?

Being 'afraid of the dentist' may mean different things to different people. But it’s not a problem that needs to be overwhelming, and certainly not one that should get in the way of your dental health. We can help you overcome your fears.

Sedation for Nervous Patients

We have gone to great lengths to do away with the conventional experiences people have when they visit us. Our waiting area is more like a homely seating area with aromatherapy oils and relaxing classical music to reduce your anxiety. We offer the use of DVD glasses so you can watch your favourite movie whilst having treatment.

We also offer sedation which is a technique that introduces an intravenous agent – Midazolam that is a sedative and will relax you making it much easier for you to have treatment for longer procedures. Midazolam is a very safe drug that will have its sedative effects for only 15 minutes per ml given to you via a cannula in your arm.

There are many ways we can reduce your dental anxiety at our practice – so why not pop through for an informal chat with us.
