Nervous patients

As a practice we are keen to encourage anxious/nervous patients as we have many years’ experience of successfully treating anxious patients. The Dental Health Centre and has established a sensitive and compassionate team of dentists and staff who work together to help you overcome your fears.

We recognise that there are many reasons why people can be anxious about visiting the dentist and our team of clinicians are keen to understand what your reasons are and to help you to overcome them.

We have successfully treated many patients whose fear of the dentist has been so bad that they have avoided a dental visit for many years. When this is the case it is common to feel embarrassed about this, which may worsen your anxiety. We understand this and want to reassure you that we will not judge you for this. Our team will ensure you feel comfortable at every stage of your visit with us.

If you are nervous and worried about a dental visit, you don’t need to put it off any longer, we do free acclimatisation visits where you can come in and talk about your fears and look at the options we might offer you. We have many patients registered with us who were extremely nervous about their first visits; the great thing is that having overcome their fears, those patients now feel comfortable attending regularly for routine care. We would like this to be you, so why not book a visit!

Call us today on 0161 445 5459 or alternatively email the practice on contact@didsburydentalhealth.com.

Inhalation Sedation (happy air)

What is Inhalation Sedation?

We offer inhalation sedation as an option for children and adults to help to cope with dental treatment. This is a technique that uses a mixture of sedative gas (called Nitrous Oxide or more commonly known as ‘Laughing Gas’ and Oxygen to assist both children and adult patients to cope with fear and anxiety and cooperate with dental treatment.

Adults

Inhalation Sedation (Happy Air) is useful for patients who are nervous or patients who have a gag reflex problem. It helps reduce both anxiety and pain and will help relax patients during treatment.

Children

Inhalation sedation (happy air) is a way of making dental treatment more pleasant. It is useful for children who are anxious or find it hard to cope with dental treatment. It is a much safer, easier way to treat children, than other forms of sedation.

Dr Asim has done a brilliant job with my composite bonding, repairing and protecting my teeth after years of bad grinding. My smile has never looked better and it’s given me a lot of confidence. Nicki and all the admin staff are so personable and friendly, they really make it a nice experience from the moment you go through the door. Would definitely recommend Dental Health Centre.

4th May 2025

The reception staff are professional and friendly. Our dentist (Tom) is really great with my children, is professional and knowledgeable and listens. The dental nurses are all professional, friendly and kind.

26th April 2025

The staff are so friendly and understanding. A dentist can be a scary place but everyone I have met has been a joy and very helpful. Even my children enjoy going. I pay for the dental plan too, and it’s 100% worth it. I have to say the reception team are the best out there!

25th April 2025

Always very thorough with the treatments. The receptionists are always helpful and kind.

24th April 2025

I have been a patient at The Dental Health Centre for many years and have always received first class treatment in all respects. The current staff maintain or even improve on past treatment experiences.

24th April 2025

I have been attending the practice for several years. I have only seen Mr Pett and the hygienists Aleena and Stella. Everyone I have dealth with (including the admin team) have always been good/professional and I have faith in the clinical teams' abilities (which is improtant, having had some bad dental exepereinces as a child). Since the takeover by the new organisation, I (rightly or wrongly) feel there is more of an emphasis to upsell products/treatments.

21st April 2025

From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel welcome, the reception staff have time for a quick chat and remember personal details. Asim my dentist is extremely caring, and always listens to any concerns.

19th April 2025

I was extremely anxious and had a panic attack but Samantha and Dr Iqbal were amazing and supportive. They both explained the whole procedure, calmed me down beforehand and took their time with me. I didn't feel awkward, upset or ashamed. It was the best dentist experience i have had.

18th April 2025

I was treated with respect and intelligence. The staff remembered I have BPPV and could not lie back and were helpful as a result. Care was taken to check my teeth carefully. I was shown Xrays and have confidence in the treatment options given.

18th April 2025

Both the Hygienist (Aleena) and Dentist (Dr Ahmed) were excellent in their approach to me and explained everything fully. I am an extremely anxious patient who struggles to attend but have now found a dental practice I have complete faith in. The reception staff are also excellent along with the dental nurse.

17th April 2025
