Feeling nervous or scared to attend a dental appointment is a very common problem, experienced by patients of all ages.
While our team at The Haringey Dentist always enjoys welcoming you into the practice, we understand that if you have a phobia of dentists or suffer from anxiety, our surgery might be the last place you want to be.
Dental phobia or anxiety can cause people to avoid visiting the dentist for many years; so, they miss out on routine appointments and avoid necessary treatment. In some cases, patients have never visited a dentist at all due to their fears.
So how can we help? Our team is highly trained and extremely sensitive to our patients’ needs and fears. We will do all we can to help you feel more at ease when you visit.
The first step is to tell us about your concerns when you call to make an appointment. This will help us to advise you and prepare for the appointment.
If it makes you feel more comfortable, you might want to attend the practice with a loved one or a friend so you have additional support.
Prior to starting treatment, we will talk you through each step of the process so you know what to expect. By showing you the equipment we plan to use and by getting you used to the sights and sounds of the dental surgery we hope to make you feel more prepared.
Our team always works sensitively and patiently with people who experience dental phobia or anxiety. Your oral health and emotional comfort are of utmost importance to us.
