FAQs for nervous patients
One good step is to specifically look for a dentist for nervous patients. We would also suggest that you communicate your concerns to your chosen dental practice, and perhaps ask about sedation or desensitisation options.
Many people also find that relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, help relieve their dental anxiety.
Yes, sedation is possible for dental work at certain practices, including Caterham Dental Care.
If required for especially nervous patients, we can prescribe oral sedation – otherwise known as conscious sedation – to help them feel calmer and more relaxed during treatment.
Oral sedation does not make the patient unconscious. However, it makes them drowsy and less aware of what is happening.
Although dentists cannot formally diagnose anxiety disorders, they can usually detect signs of nervousness in patients. Common physical indicators of dental anxiety include sweating, trembling, rapid breathing, and tense body posture.
Our clinicians at Caterham Dental Care are specially trained to handle nervous patients in a gentle and compassionate way. This helps ensure a more positive experience for everyone.
