Do you feel Nervous about seeing the Dentist?
Many patients get a little nervous before a trip to the dentist but for some people that slight apprehension can become a crippling fear.
This phobia can grow so severe that some people will avoid the dentist altogether, leading to devastating long-term issues with their teeth and gums.
At Ravenscourt Dental Practice we work hard at understanding what makes a person anxious and by helping them to overcome this, we aim to make all our patients feel comfortable, relaxed and secure.

We give our patients the knowledge and skills they need to understand how they will benefit from each treatment we recommend, while also explaining the best techniques to keep anxiety at a minimum.
Our belief is that by putting the patient in charge of their treatment we can help them manage and overcome any fears they may have whilst also offering practical solutions.

Nervous Patients FAQs
We understand that for many of our nervous patients, the feeling of being out of control is common. That’s why we work hard to put you front and centre in all aspects of your dental care. By making you central to the process and putting you in charge of your treatment, we can help manage your worries and concerns whilst facing any dental issues you have faced head-on. When you come to us for dental treatment, we will always tailor things to meet both what you need, and what you want. And, with our detailed step-by-step process, you can be confident of where you’re at, and what to expect next, so there are never any nasty surprises with us.
Although we will always try to make you feel at ease with whatever dental work you need to do through detailed planning, we also understand that for some nervous patients, the fear is too overwhelming. That’s why we do offer dental sedation in London so that where necessary, you can still receive the necessary dental care, whilst feeling completely relaxed and in control.
Yes! Holistic dentistry has proven incredibly popular with our nervous patients, as this takes the focus off the mouth, and looks at the bigger picture of your overall health. We’re very experienced in carrying out holistic treatments, and work closely with you to help you feel calm, relaxed and in control during your time with us. From offering soothing music during your appointments to introducing lavender oils and breathing techniques, we offer a range of alternative methods that can help you feel at ease.
