Anxious About Treatment?

At Flint and Flint we have a vast experience in the treatment of nervous patients. A large proportion of patients are anxious during dental treatment, so we do our utmost to alleviate any anxiety. This may be achieved with unhurried and gentle dental care, but for some patients, sedation is required.

Sedation helps you relax during dental treatment.

There are 2 types of sedation available at the practice, either inhalation or intravenous sedation.

We run daily sedation clinics so that your needs may be accommodated.

If you are even mildly apprehensive about your treatment, please inform your dental surgeon who will discuss all the options available. Many anxious patients simply require time and an understanding Dental Surgeon to listen!

Sedation testimonials

Dear Dr Flint,

I just wanted to say thank you for your kindness and support over the last four weeks. I can't say my dental fear has gone, but I think I've taken the first steps towards working on it. It was very important to me to be listened to, and to allow me to take it slowly, at my own pace which you did.

I would like to ask you to pass on my thanks to Mr Dyas who did the extractions for me a week ago.  I left his surgery without saying thank you, mainly due to wanting to escape as soon as possible, but also down to his skill with the IV sedative!

Everyone at the surgery from the receptionist and nursing staff to the dentists, were very kind and understanding. I intend to keep working on the phobia, and hope to one day walk into the surgery free from fear, but for now I just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone, especially you.

Dear Flint and Flint

I would like to thank you very much for the care you have given me recently. Having had a bad experience in the past I was very frightened of treatment but am slowly building my confidence up.

Once again, thanks you!!

Mr B. Whitehall, Chesterfield
