Nervous patients

Whatever your negative dental experiences, with our help you can leave your fears where they belong: in the past. With refined care and expertise, we’ve been helping patients throughout Southampton, Fareham and Park Gate manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too.

It’s important that you look after your oral health. Your lifestyle, psychological well-being and dental health depend on it. If you continue to avoid the dentist, this can lead to severe, perhaps irreversible, damage.

So, take the first step. Work with us. Tell us everything. In detail. We understand the panic. The sweaty palms. The rumbling tum. The unsteady legs. The tears. We also know how to ease these symptoms. As your confidence grows, they will disappear for good.

If you need some extra help to deal with your dental anxiety, we can also offer dental sedation. With safe and proven techniques, patients receive sedative drugs which work rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and monitored throughout treatment. Sedation patients often tell us they have little or no memory of their dental experience.

No pressure—you are in control

What does and doesn’t happen is up to you. You do not have to do anything out of your comfort zone.

Why not start with driving by Titchfield Dental Health. You don’t have to do any more than this for starters. We have a beautiful practice with a calm, friendly, family vibe, which you will discover if you come in and say hello. Why not bring a friend or a family member?

We are happy to chat

This is your chance to tell us why the dentist gives you the heebie-jeebies—we will understand. Sit down and have a cuppa or two on the house.

Our staff are happy to discuss your concerns. We are trained, qualified and experienced in dental phobias. If this is enough, leave and have a think.

Clare's Story

 My advice to people nervous about the dentist is not to continue doing what you’ve always done but to explore something that can bridge that gap. I cannot believe I’m on this journey, where I’m happy to come to the dentist. So, thank you.

Meet the team—tour the premises

If you are ready for the next step, you can meet the Titchfield Dental Health team. All of us. Putting faces to names can help to break down barriers. As does understanding our systems and processes, our treatments and technology.

You get to know us. We get to know you. Have a guided tour of the building. Ask as many questions as you like.

Choose your dentist

Getting to know you means we get to play matchmaker. Partnering you with the dentist we feel is the most sympathetic to your personality and individual requirements. But, if you have a preference, we are happy to oblige!

Your first dental health assessment

Comfy chair, feet up, music in the background. We are happy to tailor the tunes to your taste. Or you can bring your own music and headphones and zone out to your favourites while we check your dental health. It doesn’t take long and is painless. We can stop at any time if you need a break.

Your first dental treatment

This can be as simple and pain-free as polishing your teeth or a sealant filling. You won’t feel a thing and will walk tall when we’ve finished. And don’t forget the music!

If you need a course of treatments, we plan these close together. This means you don’t have the time to fret and undo all the good work that has got you this far.

Take the first step today…why not give us a call on 01489 581158 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

As a previous very anxious patient who had a genuine fear of visiting the dentist I can now say that I do not fear attending any appointment. Even if I need actual treatment I feel confident in attending and then reassured throughout the appointment

I have always had great service and help from the team there. Carmen has been amazing with my implant surgery putting me totally at ease during the whole process. Both the dental nurses who have attended have been very efficient as assistants and the practice is a happy place.

Attended with my 13yr old daughter. She can be quite a nervous patient. Rick was amazing. He made her laugh, was reassuring, did her first x rays and cleaned her teeth. She is more than happy to go back there.

1st November 2024

I suffer with extreme sensitivity and have had to have numbing gel applied before having the high pressured water treatment. This particular appointment with the Hygienist included a new method for cleaning/plaque removal which I found to be painless, effective and didn't need any numbing gel!

Everyone is helpful, kind, and friendly. I never feel rushed during my appointments, there’s always time for a little chat which I appreciate. And I feel like the staff share their knowledge, they always answer any questions whether they’re just curious questions or pertinent to your treatment.
