From Dental Phobia to Confidence
For many people, the thought of visiting the dentist brings a flutter of nerves. But for some, that feeling is more than nerves, it’s real dental phobia. One of our patients, a 55-year-old gentleman, knows that feeling all too well.
“I have been a dentist phobic from a young age – yup I’m a 55 year old man who can and have been reduced to tears walking through a dentist door as an adult…”
After avoiding dental visits for over 30 years, fear had taken a toll on his oral health. This year, he found himself in need of substantial treatment. The idea alone might have been overwhelming, but instead, something remarkable happened.
Building Trust Before Treatment
Through a series of pre-procedure visits and hygiene appointments with Ella, he began to feel more at ease:
“With the pre-procedure visits and some hygiene work (Ella) I received what I can only describe and incredible work and care from all the staff! ”
Sedation That Made All the Difference
When it came time for his treatment, sedation allowed him to feel calm and comfortable from start to finish. Special thanks went to Megan, who he described as “tolerating my absolute fear” with patience and compassion, along with the rest of the team who made the experience possible.
A New Chapter in Dental Care
Post-procedure, the relief was almost as powerful as the results:
“I cannot express the relief and satisfaction I feel post procedure Special thanks to Megan who tolerated my absolute fear and with all the other staff who all deserve a thank you. ”
