Got a question or want to chat?
We created the Dentistry For Nervous Patients website specifically for people who are fearful of seeing a dentist. Dr Frances has been working with nervous patients for over 15 years. She designs treatment programs specifically for anxious dental patients. She has devoted a large part of her dental career to the study and understanding of Dental Anxiety, adopting new approaches to dealing with your issues and concerns.

As I nervous patient, I can thoroughly recommend Tavistock Dental. Dr. Frances and Kruti Desai were very patient and reassuring, as were all the reception team and made my treatment a pleasant experience.

Professional and knowledgeable staff and a super friendly Clinic. Dr Frances and her team are amazing, specially Jo in Reception- she always greets you with such warmth and the biggest smile! I highly recommend this clinic.

If you’re a nervous patient then I highly recommend coming to Tavistock Dental. I was really nervous when I first came to see Dr Frances but Rosa from reception was really encouraging and Dr Frances listened to me and understood what I needed to feel more comfortable. The best thing is that I didn’t feel judged for being anxious and this actually made it easier to relax. Even when I can’t string a sentence together because I’m anxious I didn’t feel judged for that. If all dentists were like Dr Frances then I don’t think I would’ve been scared in the first place. Knowing that I can come here for my appointments now has and will make such a difference for me.

I was referred by my dentist for gum and root canal trearment to this practice. On my first visit I was not familiar with the location of the practice so I arrived very early and the door was locked. I met Joanna and she opened the door and welcomed me in offering me a hot drink, she was warm and welcoming. On subsequent visit I met Rosa and Joanna, she too was courteous kind and welcoming. I had my root canal treatment with Dr Adnan and my gum treatment with Dr Shray, both were gentle and patient with me as I have a fear of dentist. Before any procedure was started it was fully explained by both dentists, they were very patient and gentle. The team at this practice are all welcoming, friendly and professional. I'm very happy with my treatments and I definitely recommend this practice.read more

I had a really positive experience at Tavistock Dental. Having been a nervous patient due to poor experiences with anaesthesia, I originally asked about treatment under sedation. Dr Frances was patient and explained the pros and cons of different approaches. The information gave me the confidence to try local anaesthesia again for root canal treatment with Dr Adnan.The support staff were wonderful and made sure I had a full explanation of the different treatment options and costs, and kept in touch on WhatsApp which was really convenient.I had my treatment across two sessions and Adnan was fantastic - he talked through everything as he was doing it, and was calm and reassuring throughout.I then had a crown fitted by Dr Frances and again I had a good experience - I was listened to when I explained I was still experiencing some sensation in the area, and she kept me informed of progress throughout the treatment.The whole team has been welcoming and approachable (special mention for Jo, the treatment coordinator), which all helped to reassure me at the points where I was nervous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tavistock Dental to anxious patients, and anyone else!read more

We Never Judge You Or Your Teeth

What We Do For Nervous Patients

We understand how coming to the dentist and having treatment can be the scariest thing in the world for some people. But the good news is, we’re the most sympathetic clinic at understanding your fears and your anxieties.

You might have an image in your head of what dentistry is all about, but that is entirely different to what we do here.

We spent a long time making sure that when a patient comes here they have the calmest, most gentle, and most importantly, pain free experience possible.

The Process For Nervous Patients

The most important thing for you to know is we would never judge you. I have seen it all. No matter what state you think your mouth is in, I will have seen something far worse, trust me.

The first step would be to call and arrange a meeting with me. We can chat in a non-clinical environment, away from the dental chair.

We can talk about what you’re scared of, what you’re worried about, and what your concerns are, and I’ll talk to you about what I can do.

I use sedation, which is like feeling sleepy, cosy, and comfortable. With that technique we do your treatment and you’re unaware of it.

We Offer The Latest Technology

We have invested in the best modern technology, meaning, that when possible, we do as much work as we can during your sedation appointment.

As a result, we usually get you finished all in one day. Our patients are happy with only coming for one visit

The great thing about sedation dentistry is you’re competently unaware you are having treatment. You’re asleep.

We have such a friendly bunch of receptionists. Please give them a call, and they can direct you and talk you through any questions you might have.
