We’re very understanding that visiting the dentist can be a traumatic experience for some people, usually due to past childhood experiences. Avoiding your dental appointments can however be very detrimental to your long term oral health.
We offer long appointment times, discuss your treatment options in detail in advance and proceed with your treatment at a pace that is comfortable for you.
So please let our reception team know if you are feeling nervous, and we’ll take good care of you.
If you feel your anxiety is particularly strong, we can arrange IV sedation
We work with 3H, the Dental Sedation Specialists, who can be booked in advance, so you can have your dental treatment carried out while sedated and supervised by a fully qualified anaesthetist.
Ask our reception team for more details.
We can also recommend a programme of CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) to help you with your dental phobia, before you commence your dental treatment with us. After your initial CBT sessions, a first step is to come into our reception in person and to see the surgery if you wish, and say hello to your dental team before we even book your initial appointment.
We have had much success with this approach and have been able to help many dental phobic patients.
At Dentistry on the Grove, we provide dental treatment for nervous patients across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the surrounding areas.
