Overcoming dental nerves

We understand that for many of our patients, a trip to the dentist for treatment can be an anxious time. According to the NHS, one in four people are scared of the dentist, so it’s more common than you may think. At Cowbridge Dental Specialists we do everything possible to make sure our patients are relaxed and comfortable at every visit.

What is dental anxiety?

Going to the dentist can elicit fear and anxiety among patients of all ages. This can stem from a variety of sources, from bad past experiences to feeling claustrophobic about work being performed in your mouth, or just general concern about discomfort and possible pain. This often leads to people avoiding the dentist and not receiving the treatment needed for them to enjoy their smile. Here at our Cowbridge Dental Specialists, we’re determined not to let that happen!

We’re here to help

Putting our patients at ease is second nature to our team. Our practice is designed to be welcoming, comfortable and a relaxed space - far from the sterile environment you may associate with dental surgeries! 

We go further to help anxious patients by:

Taking time to discuss your fears and understand what you want to achieve from your dental treatment
Arming you with as much detail as possible about your treatment options, walking you through your treatment plan step-by-step
Explaining the credentials of our specialists and clinicians, so you know you’re in very good hands

Inhalation sedation for children

Positive dental experiences in the early years lead to a lifetime of happy smiles. Our specialist paediatric dentist and dedicated children’s dentist are trained and experienced in treating young patients. They know well how to calm any butterflies and to raise a smile among even the most anxious of little ones.

At Cowbridge Dental Specialists we’re able to offer safe, gentle inhalation sedation for children, to help them relax. Keeping your child calm and comfortable, so a trip to the dentist is always a pleasant one. To see if sedation might be right for your child, contact us and see how we can help.
