At Treehouse Dental, we know that a fear of the dentist is a common problem.
For some patients the anxiety is mild, so they are able to attend appointments; albeit reluctantly. However, for others the fear is so intense that they cannot even enter a dental practice.
Wherever you fall on the fear spectrum, we are here to help. We believe that every patient should have an enjoyable experience when they visit the dentist, and this is exactly what we want to offer you.
A fear of the unknown
An aversion to the different sounds and smells of a dental practice
A traumatic past experience at the dentist
A ‘inherited’ fear – if a parent was a nervous patient this may have been passed on
Concerns that treatment will be painful
Worries about being ‘told off’ by the dentist
Nervous about the safety of visiting the dentist during the pandemic
This is just a small sample of some of the common reasons for dental phobia, but there are many more and every single reason is understandable. The great news is, we can help.
The first thing we ask is that you tell us about your fears, however mild.
If we have an understanding of the things you are concerned about we can work towards making our service more suitable for you, helping to alleviate those worries.
If you are a new patient and would like to visit us before booking an appointment, we are happy to arrange this. This can help to create a sense of familiarity and eases those first appointment nerves. In some cases, we are able to offer virtual consultations, which can help patients build a rapport with our dental team so that they are familiar faces to see when they attend in-clinic appointments.
Every member of our team will aim to make your visit as relaxing as possible, from initial contact, to the welcome when you arrive, and the time spent in the dental chair. We will explain everything to you so that you understand your own dental health and any treatment that may be required, helping to ensure that you are always in full control of your dental needs.
The team at Treehouse Dental will work with you to provide a truly tailored service, designed to put you at ease from the moment you arrive. We have lots of ideas and methods that we have used with success to alleviate dental nerves – we’d love to help you, too!
