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.
Message or Call Us First
Tell us what worries you, in your own words. We'll suggest a first step that suits you.
A Conversation First
Your first appointment can be just a chat about what you'd like, with no treatment.
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.
A Plan at Your Pace
We agree what happens next, how long each visit takes, and whether sedation would help.
Things That Help
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."
