Help for nervous patients
Nervous about the dentist?
You're not alone. We'll go at your pace, explain everything first, and if you need sedation, our sister practice in Bearsden provides it.
What happens when you tell us you're nervous
One phone call
Tell whoever answers that you're anxious. We'll note it, so you don't have to explain again on the day.
Time to talk
Your first appointment can be a conversation and a look, nothing more. You decide what happens next.
No surprises
We'll say what we're going to do before we do it, and agree a signal to stop.
Small steps
Simple things first, so you can build up confidence before anything bigger.
Extra help if you need it
If treatment feels impossible without it, we can arrange sedation for you at Bearsden Dental Care, our sister practice 1.3 miles away.
