We fully understand that for some patients a trip to the dentist can be extremely difficult. This may be due to a bad dental experience in the past or even a high gag reflex. Whatever the reason, as many as 50% of the UK population do not visit the dentist regularly.

Unfortunately, putting off going to the dentist can result in more serious, invasive work having to be carried out at a later date, reinforcing the fear and anxiety.

At Aquae Sulis Dental all our staff are trained and experienced in dealing with nervous patients. We empathise with the fear and anxiety experienced by many people and we ensure that every patient is made to feel as comfortable as possible from the moment they arrive. We have a number of relaxation techniques available including dental sedation, a procedure which enables work to be carried out comfortably with the patient in a completely relaxed state. Patients are conscious but so drowsy they are unaware of time passing. This means it is possible to carry out many different dental treatments in one or two visits.

For those of a nervous disposition who genuinely cannot face the thought of a trip to the dentist why not give the Aquae Sulis Dental experience a try; we promise our professional, friendly, experienced staff will dispel any fears and worries once and for all.
