<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you are one of these nervous patients Marylebone<\/a>, then I hope that reading the following information can help you to feel more at ease when visiting my practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What strategies can be used to help me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a relaxing and comfortable environment is one way that\nmay help nervous patients Marylebone<\/strong> to feel more\ncomfortable during their time at the dentist. This can be done by using\nsoothing colours, soft lighting, and\/ or calming music. These can help to\nreduce your anxiety and create a more positive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I sometimes find that my nervous patients Marylebone<\/strong>\nfeel more relaxed when dental practitioners communicate with them in a clear\nand respectful manner, taking the time to explain procedures and answer any\nquestions. When you come to this practice, this is something that I am happy to\ndo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For some patients, however, these aforementioned strategies are\nnot enough to help them to access the dental care they need. In these\ninstances, conscious sedation can be used to help patients relax during dental\nprocedures. Sometimes the sedation is administered intraorally, other times,\nthrough an IV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What makes people nervous at the dentists?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental anxiety is a common problem which affects many people,\nand there are many possible causes of this anxiety. Many people are afraid of\nexperiencing pain during dental procedures, particularly injections or\ndrilling. When dental treatment is taking place patients may feel that they are\nnot in control of their body, which in turn can create a feeling of fear. In\naddition to this, past experiences which have been painful or traumatic can\ncause anxiety around dental procedures. This is by no means an exhaustive list,\nand some patients\u2019 anxiety may not have a specific cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If any of the above resonates with you, or if you are someone\nwho feels anxious or nervous for a different reason, I want to encourage you.\nConscious sedation may be a good option for you (though this can only be\ndecided in consultation with a qualified dentist). When patients undergo\ntreatment with sedation, often they find that they do not remember what has\nhappened while they were sedated. It is not the same as general anaesthetic\nhowever, as some patients may believe. Instead, when successfully sedated in\nthis way you should be awake, but unaware of what is going on around you. You\nshould feel very relaxed and unable to experience pain or even nervousness\nthroughout your dental treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For those patients who choose to move forwards with conscious\nsedation for their treatment, it is important to bring an additional person with\nyou for your appointment. This may be a friend or family member who is able to\naccompany you, get you home safely, and stay with you for a while after your\nappointment. This is simply due to the fact that you may still feel some of the\neffects of the sedation after your appointment, making it unsafe for you to\ndrive yourself away from your appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What are my next steps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are one of the many nervous patients Marylebone<\/strong>, I hope that you have been encouraged by reading this, and would advise you to get in touch with a member of my team. We will be happy to listen to your concerns and to talk you through booking in your next dental appointment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dental anxiety is a common problem that affects many people, and it can make it challenging for patients to receive the dental care they need.
