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 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 relax patients.  

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.
