Nervous About Seeing A Dentist? Don’t Worry, We Are Here To Help!

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.
“I Have Experienced No Pain During Treatment”
I struggled to find a practice with which I was satisfied for several years but Tavistock Dental (Now Dental Smiles London) has proved very satisfactory. The dentist and hygienists I have seen have been friendly and competent and I have experienced no pain during treatment. I would recommend the practice wholeheartedly. S.K

Introducing Dentistry For Nervous Patients From Tavistock Dental And Dental Smiles London With Dr Frances.

A trip to the dentist can cause anxiety for many people. If you feel nervous about any aspect of your visit to see us, be assured that the team here are trained to help make your visit as stress free as possible. Nervous patients are often labelled as having dental phobia. This is a valid condition and can be treated with a slightly modified approach to the provision of dental care.

Many of these people are so fearful about coming in that the health of their mouth suffers as a result. People who avoid the dentist are more likely to have problems with their gums and be more prone to infection and gum disease.

It is important to see a dentist regularly so that if issues with your mouth do arise they can be treated swiftly and can prevent the damage done to your smile becoming irreversible.

The good news is that with advances in dentistry there is now no need for you to be in pain whilst at the dentist!

I always have an excellent experience with Tavistock. Dr Johnson really takes his time to explain the process and ease any nerves.Also the reception staff are super friendly and make the experience pleasant when you arrive.

I had acute dental pain for several days which didn't go away, so made an appointment with Tavistock Dental, which was followed up with another examination by their root canal specialist.Both appointments were as pleasant as they could be under the circumstances (i.e. dental pain!)Each dentist was courteous, patient and professional, taking time to explain in some detail my various dental problems, their diagnoses, and their recommendations.At no time did I feel I was being pressured or given a 'hard sell'. The first dentist explained I had been 'over-brushing' and, as a result, had removed a layer of protective enamel (which means ice cream or hot drinks can be painful). She recommended I try using an electric toothbrush instead, but didn't attempt to sell me one of their own. I ordered one from Amazon the next day and can already see the benefits.Similarly, the root canal specialist carefully explained what my specific dental problem was, his diagnosis, and my options - either root canal work or extraction (which would be a good deal cheaper). But he emphasised that the decision (treatment or extraction) was entirely up to me, and at no point did I feel I was being pressurised into opting for the more expensive option.Their receptionist is 100% friendly, polite and professional - and offered me an appointment within a day or two of my initial phone call.Although I'm not a nervous dental patient, I feel that the relaxed and friendly atmosphere created by Tavistock's receptionist, dentists, and dental assistants would surely help to put nervous patients at ease.They used to take NHS patients, but I understand are now private only (I understand it is no longer economically viable for some dental practices to offer NHS services, due to changes in government funding legislation).Private or not, I would recommend Tavistock Dental highly.read more

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.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.
