Scared of the dentist? Well, you are not alone. Many people have had good reasons to be scared of the dentist. We have listened to all the most common fears that people have had, and made sure that we learnt from others’ mistakes and we turned it all around so that many of our patients who were dental phobics, now love coming to see us and would go nowhere else.
Common Fears of People Scared of the Dentist
Of the thousands of patients we have treated, we have heard about all their past experiences. These have been the most common fears that people have reported:
- When the dentist numbed me, it didn’t work but they kept on drilling.
- I did not know what they were doing to me then I ended up with treatment I didn’t need.
- They were butchers.
- As a child the dental vans did not numb me up.
- I hate the smell of a dentist
- I hate the pick thing they stick into my teeth.
- I hate needles
- I don’t like the noise of the drill.
- I lose control and am at their mercy.
- When I asked them to stop they didn’t
- They did not give me a choice.

What is Sedation Dentistry?
There are several levels of sedation you can choose.
1. NuCalm is a safe, proven system that quickly relaxes you without using narcotics or controlled substances. NuCalm naturally brings your body to the first stage of sleep. You will feel the same way you feel just as you are about to fall asleep. The amazing thing is, you feel this way for your entire appointment!
2. Oral Conscious Sedation is a safe easy way to feel disconnected from the procedure. The medication is dissolved under your tongue and after an hour of watching a movie, you slowly drift off to blissful slumber. Well, so you think. You are actually awake but very dreamy and unaware. You are still able to respond and talk to us, but most people, after going home have no recollection of the entire procedure, so in effect, you think you were asleep even though you weren’t!
3. Intravenous sedation. This method involves an anaesthetist caring for you throughout the entire procedure. You are in a deeper state, so will not be aware or remember anything of the procedure at all.
Whichever way you choose, we are here to help you have a pleasant, comfortable experience to getting your dental work completed quickly and while you are “sleeping”.
