Nervous Patients

At Inverurie Smile Care, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many people. Dental anxiety is a common issue, often stemming from past negative experiences. Our aim is to help you overcome your fears and receive the care you need in a supportive and understanding environment.

Understanding Dental Anxiety

Fear of the dentist can intensify after years of avoidance, often leading individuals to seek help only in emergencies. We want to assure you that it’s never too late to address your dental health. Many people share these feelings, and you are not alone. Regular check-ups are crucial to prevent major issues, and we are here to make that process as stress-free as possible.

Our Approach to Nervous Patients

At Inchvannie House Dental Practice, we prioritise the comfort and well-being of our nervous patients. We are dedicated to making your dental visits as pleasant and stress-free as possible. Our team is trained to handle dental anxiety with compassion and care.

Your First Appointment

We move at your pace. Your initial visit is designed to help you get comfortable with our practice and meet your dentist. An examination will be conducted only if you feel ready. This visit is an opportunity to discuss your fears and get acquainted with the environment. After your initial check-up, the dentist will provide a detailed treatment plan if needed, which you can review at your leisure. Our team is always available to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have.

Tips for a More Comfortable Experience

We understand that overcoming dental anxiety takes time and effort. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your anxiety and make your visit as comfortable as possible:

  • Early Morning Appointments: Schedule an early appointment to minimise the time spent worrying.
  • Bring a Support Person: Having someone with you can provide moral support.
  • Create a Signal: Establish a signal with your dentist to indicate when you need a break.
  • Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing or visualisation exercises can help calm your nerves before and during your visit.
  • Communicate Openly: Share your fears and concerns with us so we can better support you.
  • Stay Informed: Understanding the procedures and what to expect can help reduce anxiety. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
