What is dental phobia?
Dental phobia is a very common condition, with many adults in the UK reporting feeling scared or nervous about visiting the dentist and receiving treatment. For some patients, this fear can even put them off attending check-ups and appointments, which can be detrimental to their overall oral health, leading to dental and oral issues that then require intervention.
At The York Dental Suite, the last thing we want is our patients feeling nervous or putting off visiting us for examinations and treatment. That’s why we’ve put so much effort into being a warm, welcoming, and caring environment that our patients will feel comfortable and at home in.

How is The York Dental Suite different?
We have a patient-centred approach that puts you at the heart of all your treatments. That means we’ll take the time to listen to your concerns and phobias and act accordingly. If you’d like us to talk through everything beforehand or as we treat you, then we’ll do that. If you’d prefer to block out the treatment and listen to your favourite tunes or audiobook while we work, then you can do that instead.
Our practice has also been designed with the patient in mind. We’ve created a welcoming, tranquil environment so that patients feel relaxed and calm whenever they visit us here. All of our team members are dedicated to your care and want to make sure you have the most enjoyable and comfortable experience possible whenever you’re with us – no matter how nervous you are.
