Why nobody today should ever be scared of going to the dentist

At Carisbrook we take extra special care of nervous patients

It’s not for nothing that Carisbrook Dental is known as ‘The Gentle Dentist’. In fact our website address is www.gentle-dentists.co.uk. This is something we’re very proud of and it’s why even the most nervous patients can now have complete confidence that they will be looked after and cared for in the warmest, calmest, friendliest and most relaxed manner possible. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you suffer from this fear of dentists and there is even a medical term for it … it is called Dental Phobia and over the past 50-years we have developed many different ways in which we can help nervous patients to overcome their worries.

The first thing you’ll notice when you visit us is just how relaxed and calm everything is. We even offer relaxing aids such as TVs and iPod docking stations to help you. The main thing is though … we’ll never rush or pressure you and every step is taken at a pace you’re perfectly comfortable with. Initially, we will chat with you in one of our comfortable consulting rooms where we can get to know one another and we can discuss your worries about any treatment you may require.  

Very importantly … we can explain in full detail about how our nervous patients care works and we can tell you about some of the special measures we have taken to help you relax and feel comfortable. These include treatment under sedation and also The Wand, which provides totally pain-free anaesthesia. Our aim though is to help you overcome your fear of dentists so that you no longer dread the prospect of making an appointment. Or even worse, putting off urgently needed treatment than can mean a small problem escalates to become a painful nightmare.

The very best sedation there is

If you need it we can provide either oral of IV sedation. (We also have pleasant-tasting inhalation sedation for young children). Sedation will aid relaxation and even though you remain fully conscious you will not remember much about any part of your treatment.

The Wand guarantees pain-free injections

Using The Wand, which operates at a low pressure we deliver an automated dose of anaesthetic. Many patients remark that they did not even realise they’d been injected.

To demonstrate just how seriously we take the subject of nervous patients Carisbrook Dental is registered with the Dental Phobia Organisation and the Dental Fear Organisation. Both these bodies regularly vet dentists to ensure that they are suitably trained and sympathetic to patients. Dr Idrees has received a 5-STAR WARD from the Dental Phobia Organisation.
