Comfort & care

Dental anxiety

Many people dread a visit to the dentist. At Omnia Dental we take the time for this. We work at your pace, explain everything calmly and only treat when you are ready.

What does it involve?

Fear of the dentist is far more common than you might think, and you never need to feel ashamed of it. Sometimes it comes from an unpleasant experience in the past, sometimes from the sounds, the smell or the feeling of losing control. Whatever the reason, we deal with it calmly and without judgement.

We often begin with just a conversation and getting to know each other, without anything having to happen straight away. Together we agree on a stop signal, for example raising your hand, so you always keep control yourself. Step by step we build trust, at a pace that suits you.
