Nervous Patients FAQs

Is it normal to feel nervous about the dentist?

Yes, completely. Many people feel anxious—it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Can I talk to someone before my appointment?

Of course. We’re happy to chat things through beforehand, no pressure.

Will it hurt?

We use gentle techniques and effective local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. You can stop treatment if you feel overwhelmed. You’re always in control—we’ll take things at your pace.

What if I haven’t been in years?

That’s okay. No judgement—just support and a fresh start.
