If you are very anxious or even phobic about dentistry, well done for getting this far !
We can work closely with an on-site hynotherapist, Roland Bullivant, who has helped a number of our patients. You might consider working with him before visiting us. Alternativley,we may sometimes recommend his services if we feel that you would benefit from this approach.
The following sites all provide lots of extra information which you may find helpful.
SAAD (The Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry) has been in existance for many years. I have been a member of SAAD for many years myself. They are an authority on sedation in dentistry in the UK and provide training for dentists in sedation and anxiety control.
