Hello I Am Very Nervous When It Comes To Visiting The Dental Practice, Is There Anything That Can Be Done?
Q.
Hello,
I am a very nervous person about going to the dentist, I do not know what to do and would like some advice. I have a couple of teeth which have been knocked out and a few missing teeth, I also know I need fillings. I find eating certain foods difficult and I feel uneasy when I have to properly smile and I don’t feel confident when opening my mouth. My confidence of attending the dentist is very low, I do want to get treatment on my mouth but I am very nervous. Do you have suggestions on what I should do and do cosmetic dentists provide a service to nervous patients?

Hi. Being anxious about dental treatment is very common. It is important that you seek out a dentist that is good with nervous or anxious patients. The best way to do this is to ask around your friends and go on recommendation. Dentists are very aware that people are often nervous and if you explain how you feel, they will take extra care to ensure that your experience is a positive one. I do hope you find the courage to see a dentist and I am sure it will be a positive experience. Dr Gambroudes.
