TREATING DENTAL ANXIETY
While every effort is taken to reduce discomfort and eliminate pain, some clients are prone to anxiety on a visit to the dentist.
​
The team at Harter Family Dental Care understands all patients have different dental needs, so they use a variety of methods to promote relaxation and reduce discomfort in a calm and caring environment. The dentists, in conjunction with the dental therapists, will listen to you to assess your individual needs and discuss options.​
These range from in-practice treatment with simple prophylactic calmatives, to ‘happy gas’ administered by the dentists. The practice can also offer twilight sedation intravenously with the help of local general practitioners from Southern Regional Medical Group.
​​
General anaesthesia is available from various GP practices. Patients are referred where general anaesthesia is required.
​
The best method for you and your individual needs is determined in consultation with your dentist.
