You want to book a dental appointment, but even thinking about it may cause anxiety. You’ve been away from care for a long time and may feel unsure about the condition of your teeth. Perhaps some are missing, or you have severe decay and discolouration.
Your dentist in the Blue Mountains holds no judgments. Our entire team wants nothing but the best for you, which is returning to dental care.
Remember, restoring your oral health is about more than comfort (advanced decay can be painful) and aesthetics. Your dental health is directly linked to your overall wellness.
Of course, we understand that people forgo dental care for a variety of reasons, including:
- Fear and phobia
- Shame and anxiety
- Financial concerns
- Busy lifestyles
However, we want to help you overcome your fear and make peace with the potential anxiety that can include sedation dentistry options. We can discuss the financials and accommodate your return to dental care despite a busy lifestyle—Katoomba Dental Centre offers early evening hours.
Why We Focus on Providing No-Judgement Dental Care
According to a National Health and Medical Research Council article:
‘High dental fear affects about one in seven Australian adults, making it one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders in the country’.
Too often, fear or anxiety is based on concerns over the state of the teeth and gums. What will the dentist say? Will the dental team treat me differently?
Our dentists have seen oral health issues at various levels. But they are uniquely driven by a desire to address these potential problems and restore patients to better oral health. Our team shares this focus.
At Katoomba Dental Centre, you will not be judged!
How We Support Our Patients Through Every Stage of Their Oral Health Journey
We make time in our appointments to consult with you. We learn about your goals and concerns. If there is something we can do to support you, we encourage you to never hesitate to share it with our team.
During treatments and procedures, if you feel anxious, raise your hand or let us know, and we can take a break.
Your dentist will always share the details of every treatment and procedure with you, so you can feel educated, in control and potentially at ease.
If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, we may book treatments to address immediate concerns, and then put you on a regular schedule of checks and cleans.
Your journey to a healthier smile begins with the first call to our dental office, the first appointment, meeting our team and discovering for yourself how supportive we will be.
Remember, progress matters more than perfection. We have truly seen it all.
