From Zero to Hero(ine)- A dental phobic's odyssey.

Here is a terrific testimonial from one of the two people mentioned in my last blog post. Here is what she had to say in her own words after her visit to us at Newbury Smilemakers.... I have added some links where I felt you might like to know more.

"I just want to say a really BIG Thank you to Richard and yourself as I think I am now cured of my dentist phobia !!!

Testimonial -
Happy Gas Rules is all I can say !!! I have gone from being a total Dentist Phobic to being able to sit in the chair and have a tooth out totally PAINLESSLY in 5 sessions !!!

At the age of 34 I had only been to one private dentist once since primary school as was just so scared, and a total nervous wreck when it came to going.  I couldn't even sit in the chair and would start hyperventilating and boo my eyes out but now at the age of 37 I am a total convert and am actually looking forward to my next session.

This is all because I found Richard and Chris via a website search regarding Nervous patients, up they popped and I gave them a call. The first session I couldn't even sit in the chair but they were fine with this and made me feel totally at ease. We then arranged another session where no work was done just a total check up / photos and xrays. My third appointment was to have a trial of the Happy Gas, boy is this good stuff. You are totally conscious and coherent throughout but it just totally relaxes you and although you are aware of what is going on you're just not really that bothered and time flies by so quickly.

My 4th session was because although I had all this done I then left it a year and a half as I didn't have any pain so did not see the point in going, called them with chronic toothache. I have now had my fifth visit and
because I had left it so long I have had to have the tooth out, I could kick myself as it is my own fault. If I had kept going it would have just been a filling. On this 5th session I had a filling and a tooth out and can
honestly say I did not feel a thing and although I was in there nearly an hour it only felt like 5 minutes and all totally painless to boot.

If you are a total Dentist phobic, very nervous, anxious and cry like a baby just like me then please go and see them as they will totally sort you out and actually make your dental experiences an enjoyable one !!

Please feel free to manipulate this text as you feel necessary as not sure if all of it will fit on your website.

Very Best wishes to you both and your assistants

Suzy :)

One VERY HAPPY PATIENT !!! "
