Helping you feel at
ease at the dentist
It’s not uncommon to be fearful or anxious about dental treatment. We understand that it may have taken you time and courage to come to see us and we’re experienced and skilled in dealing with such fears.
Our empathetic team will always listen and make you feel welcome.
Sedation for Nervous Patients
At The White House Dental Surgery, we understand that apprehensive patients value attentive listening and unhurried care. That’s why we prioritize taking the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of your treatment. Your comfort is paramount, and we’ll make sure you feel relaxed and at ease before proceeding. For those with dental phobia, we offer sedation as one of our solutions to provide extra support
- IV – Intravenous Sedation – This technique is remarkably effective, even for the most anxious patients. It entails administering a drug directly into the bloodstream via injection in the arm or hand. The process is virtually painless and induces a state of relaxation and drowsiness, facilitating dental treatment.
- Oral Sedation (tablets) – Oral sedation, available in tablet form, can be taken either at home or at our practice with a drink. It typically takes about half an hour to take effect. These tablets serve as pre-medication, alleviating anxiety associated with dental treatment and promoting relaxation.
Hypnotherapy for Nervous Patients
We’re thrilled to provide our patients with the option of hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy involves entering a state of heightened concentration and focused attention.
Under the guidance of a trained and certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist, hypnosis enables you to become more receptive to suggestions for making positive changes in your perceptions, sensations, emotions, memories, thoughts, or behaviors.
It serves as a highly effective tool in assisting anxious patients to overcome their fears of dentistry.
