If you feel nervous about any aspects of your dental visit then be assured that The Dental Health Centre has a very sympathetic approach to nervous patients and the staff are trained to help to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
Nicola Owen provides a very gentle and effective approach to help nervous patients to overcome their dental phobias. In addition to her calm and gentle manner she uses her counselling skills to help patients talk about their fears and concerns in an understanding environment. Nicola understands the complexities of dental phobias and how this can be experienced in many different ways. She also appreciates that some patients have had traumatic experiences with dental visits in the past which have left them with a fear which they may feel seems irrational but nevertheless very real. However large or small a patient's fear may be, Nicola understands the need for them to be able to talk about it without feeling judged in any way. She also understands how these fears can seem greater through lack of understanding about dental procedures, she was a phobic patient herself until she did her dental degree. She provides patients with an opportunity to finally get beyond these fears without the need to be 'knocked out' or hypnotised for their visits enabling an accessible alternative solution with a long term outcome.
If you are nervous and would like to try to finally overcome this, please telephone the practice to book an appointment with Dr Owen. We can offer you a free consultation to give you the opportunity to come in and meet the staff and discuss your fears.
