Nervous Patients, Glasgow: Nervous About the Dentist? You're Not Alone

Many of our patients hadn't been for years before they came to us. We go at your pace, explain everything, and never do anything you haven't agreed to.

Prefer to talk first? Message us on WhatsApp. No judgement, no pressure.

What We Do Differently

Sedation If You Need It

Conscious sedation helps you relax deeply during treatment, with Dr Kalsi.

Everything Explained First

We tell you what is happening and why, before we do it.

At Your Pace

Nothing is done until you are ready and have agreed to it.

Talk to Us First

Message us on WhatsApp, or book a free consultation just to talk it through.

Your First Visit

Nothing is booked until you're ready, and nothing is done until you agree.

1

Message or Call Us First

Tell us what worries you, in your own words. We'll suggest a first step that suits you.

2

A Conversation First

Your first appointment can be just a chat about what you'd like, with no treatment.

3

A Look, Only If You're Ready

If you're happy to, we'll take a gentle look and explain what we see, without any lecture.

4

A Plan at Your Pace

We agree what happens next, how long each visit takes, and whether sedation would help.

Things That Help

Agree a stop signal, like raising your hand, and we stop straight away
Numbing gel on the gum before any injection
Shorter appointments to start with, building up as you feel ready
A time of day that suits you, so you're not waiting and worrying
Tell us what has helped, or hasn't, at the dentist before
IV sedation for longer treatment, or if nerves are severe

No Judgement, Ever

Whether it's been two years or twenty, we won't lecture you. The problems we see are common, and most can be put right.

The hardest part is usually getting in touch. A WhatsApp message is enough, and you don't need to explain everything at once. A family member or friend is welcome to message us for you.

Mention your nerves when you book, and your dentist will know before you arrive, so you don't have to explain it all again in the chair.

Common Worries, and What We Do

Tell us which of these sounds like you. It helps us plan your visit.

Injections

Numbing gel first, then the injection given slowly. Most people barely feel it.

The Sound of the Drill

You're welcome to wear headphones with your own music, and we warn you before anything noisy.

Gagging

We work in short spells with breaks, and sedation helps if your gag reflex is strong.

Being Judged

Never. However long it's been, we're just glad you're here.

Losing Control

You decide when we start, and the stop signal works every time.

Unexpected Costs

You get a written plan with every fee before any treatment starts.

"I've always felt completely looked after, listened to and treated with kindness."

For implants and longer treatment, conscious sedation helps you relax deeply.
