Rest assured, however, that Pure Smiles’ dentists are adept at handling nervous patients using several techniques to put you at ease so your treatment can be performed cautiously and effectively.
What does Pure Smiles do to help patients?
Firstly, we believe that things should be done at your pace. We won’t pressure you into rushing through your appointment – this might make you feel less uncomfortable with the experience and have you even more nervous the next time you’re booked in.
Our team of experienced and professional dentists will handle everything with the utmost care, talking you through each step of the process so you know what is being done and why. From the very beginning of your appointment, from the booking stage to the end, you’ll receive nothing short of the best care possible.
The environment surrounding you must be to your liking. If there is anything that is bothering you, like excessive noise or bright lighting, this can be changed at your request. You’re not the first nervous patient we’ve had and you certainly won’t be the last. Therefore, we have several ways of making this a more pleasant appointment for you.
You should point out during your initial consultation whether dental visits make you nervous, this is perfectly fine and we would be happy to accommodate. The last thing we want is for you not to inform us of your discomfort – we won’t have made the preparations beforehand that could’ve made your trip a more comfortable one.
Being informed is part of easing anxiety
Our dentists will explain the process step-by-step so you know what to expect. We believe that presenting you with the safety information and the measures we put in place is hugely helpful to your relaxation.
The number of people who forego dental appointments entirely due to nervousness means that there are far too many people not receiving perhaps necessary treatment whatsoever.
Knowing everything about the heightened care we take for hygiene and caution aims to put your mind at rest. We believe that a pleasant experience for you will make the next appointment a less dreadful thought for you.
If you’re ready to speak to a member of our team, feel free to contact us today and we’ll talk you through the entire process.
