Dentist recommendation

[willow]

I have a serious dentist phobia but it's got to the point now where I can't put it off any longer. Has anyone got a recommendation of a sympathetic dentist that it very good with nervous patients? Preferably where you can be sedated?!

Hi Willow..if you can afford to go privately and don't mind the journey then SENOVA in Watford are absolutely awesome.

Before any treatment programme, they sit you down and discuss what your concerns are,[not put you in the chair and expect you to talk from a lying-down position!]. You are under no obligation if you pay for a first time assessment and then choose not to go with them. They have all sorts of ways of helping anxious patients and Dr Jay Padayachy is the nicest, kindest guy.

Yes, they are very 'state of the art' but that's a goood thing, and patient care is their top priority. I am not sure you can get this on the NHS because of the cost and time involved. Good luck.

Hi Willow

If you are looking more local to ED than Watford (and are happy to go private) I can unreservedly recommend Emily Parikh at Haynes Dental on Thurlow Park road (less than five mins walk from Tulse Hill station - accessible from ED station) Check out their site at http://haynesdental.co.uk/ - I have been going to Emily for years, even after we moved to Nunhead from Tulse Hill 8 years ago. Now I take my children to her too and she's been awesome. The practice seem to specialise in nervous/guilty patients - it's a lovely practice, well worth every penny.

Hope you find someone.

I would reccommend Mr Patel at Perfect Smile, Beckmead Avenue in Streatham. He's young and very friendly, puts you at ease, explains what he is doing and I think he would be very patient with someone nervous. Also, although the practice does have private patients, I think he's also still available on the NHS (I'm an NHS patient)

I also have complete phobia but have found the dentists at Dental Arts Studio in Clapham are fantastic. They specialise with nervous patients and I was there for treatment yesterday and for the first time in years I wasn't bothered about going.

Though California might be considered a bit far to travel

Gardens Dental Surgery is amazing, v friendly and relaxed. Rashika is really patient. I would definitely recommend this practice after many unhappy experiences..

Martin Wanendeya of Ten Dental in Clapham is good - private again, but local-ish.
