Dental Phobia and Anxiety

Dr Edwina has years of experience in treating patients with anxiety related to seeing the dentist. She is a member of the International Society of Dental Anxiety Management and has a number of techniques available to reduce the fear of seeing the dentist. These include relaxation techniques, happy gas (nitrous oxide), movies, music and prescription medications. The well-presented rooms feel more like a home than a health centre and our friendly staff further assist to put people at ease.  Furthermore, our therapy dog, Chloe, is available for cuddles on demand!

For more severe anxiety, we provide conscious sedation in our rooms. Lighter than a General Anaesthetic and involving less risk, conscious sedation (also called sleep dentistry) quickly and easily puts you at ease in the comfort of your usual dental practice.  

As a dental phobic herself, Dr Edwina has converted many fearful patients into long- term, regular patients who happily attend for regular check-ups and enjoy fear- free dentistry.
