Anxious Patients
Helping You Access Dental Treatment
Providing a Positive Experience
At one80 Dental, we are committed to giving you the best service possible, which not only means using cutting-edge treatments and technology, carried out by our brilliant team of specialists and general dentists, but making sure that you feel comfortable and calm throughout.
We understand that some people feel heightened anxiety when visiting the dentist, especially if they’ve had negative experiences in the past and our team is trained in treating dental phobic patients and why we offer dental sedation.
Anxious and Dental Phobic Patients
Unfortunately, when people feel anxious, it can prevent them from seeking treatment, which then affects their oral health, wellbeing and their overall health long-term. Often leading to them living in discomfort or pain for longer than necessary.
For people who are nervous about unfamiliar surroundings, and the worry of what their treatment might entail, we find that sedation is an option to help them get over their initial fears.
We’ve had many success stories over the years with patients who initially experienced overwhelming anxiety, yet after two or three treatments, they no longer need intravenous sedation for dental treatment.
Our sedation is delivered under the supervision of a professional anaesthetist.
