Approach to anxious patients

A central part of the practice's identity is its work with patients who experience dental anxiety or phobia. It states that each dentist is an expert in dealing with nervous patients and that the dental nurses are highly skilled in caring for them. The principal dental surgeon, Dr Mark Boulcott, uses a variety of specialist techniques including hypnotherapy and sedation, and is an accredited clinician and instructor in intravenous sedation techniques.

The practice also highlights a working philosophy that avoids removing teeth in children to create space, which it identifies as a strong cause of dental anxiety or phobia later in life.
