Understanding and attention
Fear can have various causes, such as previous unpleasant experiences, pain or the feeling of not being in control. Whatever the reason, you can openly express this to us. We listen to your story and tailor our care to what you need.
Calm approach and clear explanation
We work with a calm and personal approach. We explain in advance what we are going to do, take our time and always stop if you want us to. You remain in control, for example by agreeing on a stop signal together.
A permanent dentist if you prefer
For many anxious patients, it is reassuring to have a permanent dentist. With us, you can indicate that you would like to be treated by the same dentist. This way you get to know each other better and together we build trust and predictability.
At your own pace
With anxious patients, we often build up treatments step by step. Sometimes this starts with just an introduction or check-up, without treatment. This way you can get used to the environment and the team at your own pace.
Prevent pain as much as possible
We do everything we can to make treatments as comfortable as possible. With modern techniques, careful anesthesia and a calm approach, we try to limit pain and tension as much as possible.
Working together to build trust
Our goal is not only to treat your teeth, but also to build trust. Many patients find that their anxiety decreases when they feel heard and taken seriously.
You are very welcome at Tandartsen Weeshuis – even if the threshold is high for you.
