| I am nervous of going to the dentist, what can I do? |
Many people feel anxious about going to the dentist. They may fear the possibility of pain or feel embarrassed because they have not been to the dentist for a long time. Dentists understand these feelings and are sympathetic to patients who are nervous or who have a phobia. Don’t be worried about telling a dentist that you are nervous or frightened. Try contacting some practices, explain your concerns and ask them what help they provide for nervous patients. It helps if you can identify which things make you nervous and let the practice know before you arrive for your appointment. Make an appointment for a time of day when you will have no other stresses. Do not book it when you know you have to be somewhere else shortly afterwards. Take a friend with you for reassurance. Make sure you understand any treatment you need before you commit yourself. Always ask the dentist to explain it if you are unsure.
