We appreciate that sitting back in the dentist’s chair can be a little daunting for many of us, including some of our own patients – so be rest assured, you’re not alone!
At the Family Dental Clinic our team of professionals understand the difficulties associated with dental anxiety, which is why we’re committed to creating a comfortable and reassuring environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Here’s how:
Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere
As you enter our clinic, you’ll immediately be met with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our reception team will welcome you with a smile and guide you through a quick and easy check-in process before offering you a seat in our waiting room. A positive first impression plays an important role in alleviating dental anxiety right from the start.
Communication is Key
Communication is key, and we encourage all our patients to express their concerns and fears openly. Our dentists take the time to listen, understand, and address any worries you may have. By fostering an environment of open communication, we aim to build your trust and ensure you have a stress-free experience.
Patient Education
At our family dental practice, we believe that knowledge is empowering. Knowing what to expect can significantly reduce anxiety, which is why our practitioners will always explain dental procedures thoroughly. Whether you’re here for a routine check-up, cosmetic dentistry, or an endodontics treatment we’ll provide a clear and concise step-by-step process.
A Gentle Approach
Our dental professionals have years of experience and expertise treating patients of all ages with dental anxiety. We take a gentle and caring approach, going at a pace that suits you, taking breaks when needed and prioritising your comfort throughout the entire visit.
Distraction Techniques
Sometimes a simple distraction can make a significant difference. Our clinic is equipped with a variety of entertainment options to create a more enjoyable experience, including TVs, quiet background music and reading materials (it’s amazing what a good book can do!).
Post-Appointment Support
Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond your dental appointment. We understand that dental anxiety can linger, and that’s why our team are dedicated to providing ongoing support. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply need a friendly ear, we’re here for you. Our aim is to create a positive and reassuring experience that ensures you feel significantly more at ease when returning to our clinic.
At the Family Dental clinic, we take pride in creating an environment where your dental anxiety is understood, acknowledged, and effectively managed.
