Compassionate Care for the Mid North Coast
We understand that for many residents in South West Rocks, Arakoon, and Stuarts Point, a visit to the dentist can feel overwhelming. In fact, many of our patients feel some level of anxiety about dental care. Our team acknowledges these feelings because we are patients too, and we are dedicated to helping you move past that anxiety so you can make healthy decisions for your smile.
Modern Solutions for Dental Anxiety
Our primary goal is to help you receive the care you need to maintain a healthy, confident mouth without the stress. While building a personal connection is our most important tool, we also offer several clinical options to help you relax.
Relaxing with Happy Gas
For those who need a little extra help to feel at ease, we provide “happy gas” (relative analgesia). This is a simple and effective way to reduce anxiety during your procedure. A significant benefit of this option is that its effects wear off quickly, meaning you can safely drive yourself home immediately after your appointment is finished.
Oral Pre-medication Options
If you require a deeper level of relaxation, we can discuss oral pre-medication. This involves taking a small tablet before your procedure, which helps you feel significantly more relaxed and calm for the duration of your dental visit.
Sleep Dentistry with an Anaesthetist
For patients who experience severe anxiety or require more complex work, we have the facility to call in a qualified anaesthetist. This allows you to be put to sleep for your dentistry, ensuring you can complete your necessary treatment without the anxiety you may have experienced in the past.
