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.
Dental anxiety can arise for many reasons. Common causes include:
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.
What to expect — your questions answered
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.
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.
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.
“Amazing service from everyone here – saw the dentist for the first time, he thoroughly checked my mouth and teeth. I visited the hygienist today and she was excellent and informative as well. Highly recommend.”
