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.

Great personal welcome from receptionists. Always get to see the same Dentist and Hygienist. Dentist is very calm which helps me to be less anxious.

Friendly, helpful reception followed by a thorough treatment from hygienist with all aspects of treatment explained. Short wait before saw the dentist who was also thorough and explained possible future treatments. Both he and the dental nurse were kind, pleasant and helpful.

Everybody listened to my needs. I have vertigo and a great deal of care was taken to ensure my need to sit up were met even though it was uncomfortable for the clinician and nurse to work on my teeth in that position. Huge gratitude to them for catering to me.

The hygienist is very skilled and always puts me at my ease. She does a thorough job. The dental nurse was really good with the equipment and so I did not feel I was choking once. The reception staff are always pleasant and efficient .

To be honest, going to The Dental Health Centre is a day out! It’s lovely to see everyone, all the staff are fabulous! Dominic is the “world’s greatest dentist”. They’re an amazing team! Thank you xx

I should not have choked twice during my dental hygiene treatment that I was very unpleasant. The price has also gone up too much.

I was able to arrange an appointment convenient for me. Maria was extremely thoughtful in providing the treatment I needed within the checkup because she realised that I am housebound and travelling is very difficult. The treatment was quick and efficient and everything was explained clearly. Luckily for me I didn't have to negotiate stairs! It couldn't have been a better experience.

31st October 2025

Polite staff and appointment time kept to. As this was only a checkup and not treatment there isn't a lot to comment on.

31st October 2025

I have been visiting this practice for over 30 years and seen many challenges in staff from Denist Hygienist and receptionist. All have given excellent service.

24th October 2025

Staff are brilliant as always

23rd October 2025

The dentist was fantastic. Had a poor experience with the hygenist who barely spent any time actually cleaning my teeth

20th October 2025

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I am very satisfied with all the treatment I have had over the years. Everything is explained to me very clearly and I feel cared about and not rushed in any way. It is a pleasure to come to the Dental Health Centre.

19th October 2025

All the staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. Dominic is thorough and provided useful, measured advice about potential options for me. I feel a high degree of trust.

12th October 2025

All the staff are so lovely. They seem happy in their work and knowledgeable. Aleena was frequently checking in with me during the scale and polish appointment, and demonstrated a better angle from which I could brush my teeth. Dominic is always a delight, great sense of humour and also very reassuring.

10th October 2025

I have always been completely satisfied by the treatment I receive from my dentist and hygienist and the nurses that work with them. They listen to me and explain any treatment I need. I must also commend the professional, friendly and helpful reception staff. I love my dental team!
