Do You Have Any Advice for Dental Phobic Patients?

Q.
Hello Dr Hughes. Could you please advise me on getting my teeth treated? I’m so scared of dentists because of a bad experience I had in the past, but now I really need dental work done. I can’t even look at people right in their face when I speak to them. And I also need assurance that the work I need can be done without me having to be put to sleep, because that’s the main fear I have. Thank you, I have totally let myself down by letting it go this long without dental treatment. I don’t have one full tooth in my mouth. I would just really appreciate some help and friendly advice. Thank you very much.

Hello, thank you for contacting me with your query. The best thing to do would be to attend a full assessment and consultation with a dental phobia certified dentist, so they can assess your needs and advice on the best approach for you, as you are nervous. There are many ways that dentists can help patients with anxiety about dental treatment. Good luck.  Kind regards, Mark.
