Unfortunately many patients suffer in silence and hope that their symptoms will go away or wait until they are so bad that they can no longer be ignored, simply because they are afraid of the dentist. Here at the dental practice, we welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/\">nervous patients Guildford<\/a> and are happy to discuss your anxieties or your dental phobia so that we can help combat them and allow you to enjoy good dental health and a beautiful smile. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nervous-patients-guildford-1.png\" alt=\"nervous-patients-guildford\" class=\"wp-image-711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nervous-patients-guildford-1.png 325w, https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nervous-patients-guildford-1-200x134.png 200w, https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nervous-patients-guildford-1-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you are suffering from dental anxiety or dental phobia then rest assured that you are not alone. Surveys carried out by Dental Phobia suggest that more than half of the UK population are scared of visiting the dentist. Further studies show that almost 20% of the population have such bad dental phobia that they refuse to visit the dentist altogether or get essential dental work done. Unfortunately, this means that <strong>nervous patients Guildford<\/strong> suffer from complicated dental health issues and missing teeth. It also means that a huge percentage of the adult population are also unhappy with the appearance of their smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Help is available for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong>, we offer our services to <strong>nervous patients Guildford<\/strong>, with the help of anaesthesia and sedation techniques to make dental treatments and procedures as relaxing and pain-free for you as we possibly can. Thanks to significant advances in dental technology, extensive dental treatment can be carried out whilst you are relaxing or asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer you avoid the dentist, the more complicated your dental health issues will become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will mean that when you eventually visit the dentist, you will require lengthier and more extensive treatment to deal with your issues. If you can combat your anxiety or your phobia and visit the dentist on a regular basis then any dental health complications will always be detected at their onset and can be treated quickly and effectively without much pain, discomfort or recovery time. The more complex your dental needs, the more extensive treatment you will require and the lengthier the recovery time will be as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting the dentist on a regular basis helps keep your teeth clean, healthy and beautiful. Avoiding the dentist results in the building up of plaque and tartar and a range of complications, such as tooth decay and gum disease. If you do not address these issues early or if you continue to avoid the dentist and ignore your dental condition, then this can cause irreversible damage to your teeth. You may have to deal with complicated symptoms, such as toothache, sensitivity, bleeding gums, and bad breath and eventually you may suffer from tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, patients who avoid the dentist are more likely to suffer from cavities, tooth decay, gum disease and missing teeth in comparison to patients who visit the dentist on a regular basis. So speak to us at <strong>Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong> today and find out about addressing your dental fears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are worried about your teeth, it is important that you visit us at Farnham Road Dental Practice and book an appointment for a dental health examination or a routine check-up.
