"R.A." changes people's perception of dentistry

The power of "R.A." to change people's perception of dentistry

I'd love to share two recent stories from Newburysmilemaker's patients whose future dental care has indeed been transformed by the "Happy Air" sedation service we have used for very many years.
Story 1
We were contacted by the mother of a 10 year old who needed to have two good baby teeth removed to help relieve his crowded row of teeth.
His own dentist had tried to do the necessary but the whole session ended in tears and upset and had to be abandoned.
His Mum found as after a Google search for dentists experienced in helping anxious people and was happy t travel 25 miles to see us. On his first visit we just sat and chatted with the young chap and his Mum in the patient lounge area to hear their story and explain how we could help offering a "test drive"of the "Happy Air" next time.
On the second visit we carried out the planned dry run, letting our 10 yr old sit in the dental chair, with his mouth shut tight and breathing the happy air for a few minutes to experience the nice feeling of relaxation, warmth and cosiness it provides and starting to regain his confidence. He then left having had a positive experience.  He returned about a week or so later, full of confidence to have the two baby teeth popped out using the happy air. He was completely relaxed and the whole session passed off completely uneventfully. I expect to be receiving a nice testimonial soon. I'm so pleased that we were able to prevent this chap from becoming a dental phobic.
Story 2
Last Friday we saw a lady who we saw for the first time several weeks earlier with severe toothache and with a great fear of dentistry. Through floods of tears and trepidation, we did manage to treat the toothache using Happy Air Sedation. However her tooth was cracked in a way that was unsalvageable.
She came back to see us, having come to realised that what she had feared was nowhere near a bad as she had feared. We did a filling and removed the tooth that had to go, without the slightest sign of fear or tears.
She left with a beaming smile She was just so pleased with herself. Returning to the patient lounge, her partner was totally incredulous that she was relaxed and smiling. Another terrific result !
If I can help you or someone you know, to experience fear free dentistry please contact us.
At present this method is probably available in no more than 15% of dental practices in the UK and Ireland and the courses I run is helping to increase its availability for anxious dental patients,
