Dental Anxiety

Managing Dental Anxiety at Andrews Scott Dental

Understanding Your Concerns
At Andrew Scott Dental, we recognise that dental phobia is a real and common issue affecting many individuals. You are not alone in feeling anxious about dental visits, and acknowledging this is the first step in our approach to personalized dental care. We are committed to making your visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

A Welcoming Environment
From the moment you step into Andrew Scott Dental, we strive to make you feel at ease. Our reception areas are designed to create a soothing atmosphere with comfortable seating, complimentary beverages, and a selection of magazines. Our friendly and compassionate team is here to welcome you and make your experience relaxing from start to finish.

Open Communication
Before any treatment begins, we take the time to discuss your concerns and the specifics of your dental history. Understanding the root of your anxiety helps us tailor the experience to your needs. We believe in transparency and will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you know what to expect and when. This open line of communication is vital in easing dental anxieties.

Techniques to Ease Anxiety
We offer several strategies to help you manage your dental anxiety:

• Morning Appointments: Scheduling your visit early in the day means you spend less time worrying.
• Consultation First: Remember, your first appointment is just a consultation. No work is done without your readiness and agreement.
• Bring a Support Buddy: Having a friend or family member by your side can provide additional comfort.
• Gradual Familiarisation: Start with simple cleaning and gradually progress to more involved treatments as you become more comfortable with our team and the environment.
• Positive Reinforcement: Talk to others about their positive dental experiences to help build your confidence.

Dental Sedation Options
For those who need extra support, we offer sedation dentistry. This option can help you relax during your treatment, providing a calm, almost dream-like state while remaining conscious. Sedation is a safe way to reduce anxiety during dental procedures, allowing you to have a more positive experience.

Our Commitment to Comfort
At Andrew Scott Dental, we integrate the latest technologies with compassionate care to ensure your visit is comfortable and beneficial. We take pride in our ability to care for anxious patients and make your dental health journey a positive one.
