Nervous Patients

At Brimington Dental Practice, our compassionate, friendly team will always do everything we can to help our nervous patients feel comfortable and confident.

Feeling nervous or even scared about visiting the dentist isn’t uncommon. In fact, according to a study from the Oral Health Foundation, up to half of adults questioned reported having experienced dentophobia or fear of the dentist. At Brimington Dental Practice, we want to ensure that even our nervous patients feel welcomed and comfortable when visiting us here because if not, they might postpone much-needed treatments and check-ups that could be essential to their oral health.

Our friendly, experienced team can answer any questions you might have and will be able to help keep you calm and informed when receiving treatment. We understand, however, that for some patients a little more help might be needed for which we can offer sedation services. Sedation can be used on longer and more complex treatments such as receiving an implant or root canal treatment, but we can also use it for patients who are too nervous to receive other, less complicated treatments too.
