Lots of people put off the dentist for years because they’re anxious about it. It’s very common, and a good practice will keep your first visit calm and unhurried. Here’s what to expect.
No judgement
Whatever state your teeth are in, and however long it’s been, we’ve seen it before and we’re not going to lecture you. The first visit is about getting to know you and finding out what worries you.
A gentle first appointment
Your first visit is usually just a chat and a look. No drilling. We explain everything before we do it, and if you need a break, just raise your hand.
You set the pace
We can split treatment into smaller steps, give you extra numbing, or just give you more time. A lot of nervous patients tell us the build-up was far worse than the appointment.
Been putting it off? Book a friendly first visit at Toothi in Edgware, tell us you’re nervous and we’ll take extra care.
