Nervous patients

At Warrigal Dental, we understand that reluctant patients need additional support to feel calmer, at ease, and have a relaxed, positive experience at every visit. Dr Billy Kim is highly experienced in helping nervous or anxious patients overcome their dental fears, making sure to treat all patients respectfully in a caring, friendly and gentle manner.

Dental anxiety is very common and can vary from mild discomfort to being overwhelming.  Whether from a negative experience in the past, or a recent change in your oral health, it is important to realise that maintaining healthy teeth and gums will prevent more complex and wide-ranging health complications over time.

We practice many methods to help anxious patients feel comfortable: playing your favourite shows or music, checking to allow breaks during treatment, covering any questions ahead of time, providing a clean and pleasant environment and much more. Please feel free to speak with our caring team about any questions or concerns at any stage of your appointment, and we can ensure your visit is pain-free, stress-free and well informed about any recommended treatments.

It is never too late to improve you and your family’s oral health, and we are committed to making sure our patients can enjoy a professional and positive dental experience.
