How a Specialist Dentist Can Help Nervous Patients

Feeling nervous about dentists appointments is fairly common and can be made worse when you notice any dentistry issues that you will need to get checked. Our minds can start to run away from us at the slightest toothache, which is why finding a specialist dentist that knows how to handle nervous patients is the ideal solution.

At Bite Dentistry we understand that some patients find dental exams worrying no matter the reason, which is why we offer specialist care for nervous patients.

What does specialist dental care mean for nervous patients?

Everyone deserves to be able to smile with confidence and eat without pain, which is why providing specialist dental care for those patients who struggle with nerves during dental appointments and treatments.

Specialist dental care means that dentists are trained not only in specialist treatments such as orthodontics or dental implants but also in caring for patients and providing them with treatment in a way that reduces nerves and leaves them feeling comfortable before, during and after an appointment.

Putting you at ease with expert dental care

Becoming nervous about going to the dentist is common amongst dental patients and can result in people avoiding dental care altogether. To prevent this and to help patients feel relaxed some dentists, like Bite Dentistry, offer a specialist care plan for nervous patients.

Generally, specialist dental care involves doing everything possible to help a patient feel comfortable at a dentist, offering understanding for those that do feel scared or nervous to attend their appointments.

When you visit a specialist dentist they will greet you with kindness and take the time to get to know your fears or concerns, relaying everything to your dentist so that they can decide how best to move forward with your treatment in a way that you will feel most comfortable with. Each step of your treatment will be explained to you and your expert dentist will check that you are happy to proceed to ensure you are relaxed and happy.

Treatment options for nervous patients

Whilst a dental exam itself may not feel worrying, treatments can bring out nerves even in the most confident of dental patients.

Hypnosis is a great option for those looking to beat their nerves when heading for dental treatment. The art of suggestion can benefit those that are nervous about dentists, using hypnodontics can reduce anxiety during your next appointment.

If you seem to be particularly nervous some dental practices may offer dental sedation to help you relax whilst allowing them to finish the treatment quickly and effectively. Dental sedation is available intravenously, orally or using gas and air to relax and numb a patient. If it is decided in discussion with your dentist that sedation will be the best option they will suggest a viable option relating to your preferences and needs.
