Our experienced, friendly team is here to meet you where you are — and go at your pace. You’ll never be rushed, and we’ll always talk you through what’s happening.

We’re here to provide expert care with warmth and empathy — and to change the way you feel about visiting the dentist.

anxiety

Understanding the source of your anxiety.

We begin by listening.

By understanding the root cause of your anxiety, we can adapt your treatment plan and experience accordingly. Whether you’re nervous about pain, the sounds and smells, or just feel uneasy in the chair, we’re here to help you feel heard and supported.

nervous behaviour

Why might I be feeling nervous about the dentist?

Dental anxiety can arise for many reasons. Common causes include:

  • A previous negative experience.
  • Fear of pain or needles.
  • Loss of control while in the dental chair.
  • Embarrassment about your oral health.
  • Generalised anxiety or phobias.

Whatever the reason, you’re not alone. At Castle Dental, we don’t just treat teeth — we care for people. We’ll work with you to gently build trust and confidence in your care, one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect — your questions answered

I haven’t been to the dentist in years — is that ok?

Absolutely. We understand that anxiety can prevent people from coming in, sometimes for years. We’re not here to judge, we’re here to help. No matter where you’re starting from, we’ll support you with care and kindness.

Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?

Yes, of course. You’re very welcome to bring a friend or family member with you. If it helps you feel more comfortable, they can sit with you during your visit.

Will I be forced to go ahead with treatment if I’m not ready?

Never. You are always in control. We’ll explain your options clearly, and you’ll decide when (or if) you want to proceed. Many nervous patients find that once they feel understood and supported, their confidence grows naturally over time.
