Nervous Patients

Here at Hesire Dental, looking after nervous patients is something we do really well.

Our personable and experienced dentists have helped thousands of patients tackle their fear of the dentist, and to have dental treatment without feeling frightened.

How We Look After Nervous Patients

The first and most important aspect of helping you as a nervous patient, is to listen. We see many patients who come to us saying they’ve not felt listened to by dentists in the past, and that their dental anxiety has been somewhat trivialised. This isn’t how we do things.

We will be compassionate with you and try to get to the root of your dental anxiety, so that we can work out how best to support you. For one patient, this might mean running through the procedure to explain exactly what is involved – for another, it could mean the use of conscious sedation to help them relax and become unaware of their phobia whilst they are in the dentist’s chair.

What Is Conscious Sedation?

Conscious sedation is a type of sedation that eliminates feelings of anxiety, making you oblivious to the sights and sounds of the dental practice, and blocking your response to discomfort. You will be fully awake for the time you are sedated, which means you and your dentist can communicate effectively. Conscious sedation is a revolutionary way of helping even the most nervous patients feel safe and calm during any given procedure. It can be used for all types of dentistry.
