Here for you

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we know that a trip to the dentist’s chair isn’t typically a highly anticipated event for most of our patients. Whilst many people put off going to the dentist until it is absolutely necessary, most of our patients recognise that it is necessary to ensure the health of their teeth. However, there are some out there who suffer from such severe levels of dental anxiety and dental phobia that they avoid going to the dentist altogether – regardless of the conditional of their oral health. People who feel this way will be glad to know that here at Farnham Road Dental Practice we specialise in the treatment of nervous patients Guildford and do all that we can to make them feel relaxed and at ease, throughout each step of their treatment.

Over the years our practitioners have seen it all, and we never judge our patients – regardless of how long it may have been since they have last been in the dentist’s chair. Any nervous patients in Guildford who perhaps feel that now is the time to seek out dental care, can trust Farnham Road Dental Practice to provide a level of care which is tailored to their needs and at a pace with which they feel comfortable and at ease.

Getting your smile ship-shape

One of the best forms of treatment that we offer for nervous patients Guildford, is provided by our dental hygienist. Rather than address the cosmetics of a patient’s teeth – which are arguably secondary to their wellbeing – it is the job of our dental hygienist to make sure that a patient’s teeth are as medically fit and healthy as they can be, which allows them not to have to fret about dental problems affecting their health. Our dental hygienist is one of the best solutions for those who have not been to the dentist in a long while, as they are experts at identifying any potential oral health problems, such as periodontal disease and recommending the relevant treatment before it can have a chance to develop further.

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, our dental hygienists have seen teeth in all imaginable conditions, and therefore nothing can surprise them. Additionally, they are expertly trained in listening to the needs of the patient, and acting accordingly. If you are a nervous patient, but wish to have your oral health professionally looked over by a dentist who will work to a pace which suits you, then you ought to speak to one of our staff here at Farnham Road Dental Practice to see what we can do for your smile.

Scaling and polishing

One of the main roles which is carried out by our dental hygienists at Farnham Road Dental Practice is the professional cleaning of a patient’s teeth. This is known as a ‘scale and polish’ procedure. This is a two step process which has been engineered to leave the patient’s teeth both in top health, and looking fresher and brighter. The first stage of the cleaning procedure involves scraping away any superficial stains or tartar and plaque from the patient’s teeth – particularly in the more difficult to reach spaces which are commonly missed when regularly brushing. After this has finished there is the ‘polish’ section of the procedure, whereby the patient’s teeth are professionally polished using hand operated dentistry equipment. This removes any excess plaque and leaves them with a brighter, shinier, cleaner and most importantly, healthier smile.
