Nervous Patient Dentistry

From Taylored Dental Care

Taylored Dental Care’s mission is to end the fear of going to the dentist. We are dentists for those that do not like dentistry.

We fully appreciate that going to the dentist is not many people’s favourite thing to do and for some they have an absolute phobia that prevents attendance completely.

We want to change this and have been for well over 10 years.

We have been gradually perfecting our art of treating nervous patients, learning their many varied objections and dislikes and then finding novel ways to overcome them.

We have treated hundreds of phobics and many of those patients have not been in for up to 40 years or more. 

How?

We can meet patients virtually to begin with to introduce ourselves while you’re in the safety of your own home.

We can show them testimonials from other phobics who didn’t think in a million years they’d be able to have treatment or end up with a healthy mouth and great looking smile.

We can then meet them in a coffee shop to meet face to face so they can get to know us and that the team REALLY is genuinely caring and wanting to help.

Discuss the use of sedatives that mean you can pretty much sleep through your treatment and forget about it afterwards.

Discuss pain free anaesthetic techniques. 

Show you ways that we use to let you be in control.

Use controlled environments with lighting and smells that relax you and not bring back terrible memories of the past.

Why do we do this?

Our founder Dr Carl Taylor himself does not like having dentistry done.

He was really upset as he started his career hearing how uncaring some dentists had been in the past and the phobias they had caused because of their lack of care.

He learnt how to sedate patients early on in his career to try to begin to help.

He hated how there seemed to be some dentists that put profits ahead of patient care.

He hated how some dentists seemed to elevate themselves above their patients meaning the patients felt inferior or anxious.

He didn’t understand why some dentists didn’t speak clearly, openly and honestly instead using jargon and “blinding patients with science”.

And last but not least, he wanted to end hearing the same thing SEVERAL times a day from patients – something along the lines of 

“No offence mate but I <insert swear word> hate dentists!!” 

And so a new philosophy was born in his head…

“We’ll be the practice for those that don’t like dentists!”.
