HAS IT BEEN A WHILE since you visited the dentist? Does anxiety or worry about discomfort account for your absence? If fear is preventing you from enjoying the health benefits of regular dental appointments, here’s our suggestion: give us a chance to change your mind!
Stop The Cycle of Fear
Far too many of us get caught in a terrible cycle. Out of fear, we put off visits to the dentist until tooth pain or discomfort is severe. That delay results in tooth decay or gum disease. Faced with the prospect of dental treatment, we once again avoid care, which leads to further decay and disease.
A recent BBC television series The Truth About Your Teeth highlighted how putting off dental treatment can lead to major problems and expense.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have simple, easy checkups—and dental health peace of mind after each visit?
We’ve worked successfully with many anxious patients to restore the health of their mouth and teeth, and we can help you too!

Some patients find coping with a visit to the dentist very difficult. for these most anxious dental patients there is the option of sedation. This can involve the use of ‘gas and air’ or the injection of a sedative medicine. Dentist Dr Radhika Chopra will soon be able to offer dental sedation to our patients.
