October is the month for all things ghoulish and macabre, but there’s nothing more terrifying than the perception that going to the dentist will be a frightful experience. In this blog, we’re (ghost)busting the top four scariest dentistry myths!
‘Dental treatment is painful.’
Not true! Dental procedures have advanced considerably over the years. With the added benefit of local anaesthesia, sedatives and numbing agents, your treatment at Lister House Dental, Harlow, will be pain-free and gentle. Regardless of the complexity of your treatment, from check-ups to restoration, our goal is always to make you comfortable.
‘The dentist will judge me.’
The Lister House Dental Centre team are health professionals who ultimately care about your oral health and overall well-being. We would never judge our patients based on the condition of their teeth and consider ourselves your partners in protecting your smile for the future.
‘I can’t afford the dental treatment.’
Our goal is to ensure our local community can afford the quality private dentistry they deserve. As such, Lister House offers reasonable monthly payment plans and 0% dental finance in Essex. So, if you need dental treatment or have been longing for a smile makeover but are unsure about the best way to pay for it, get in touch with our friendly team and enquire today!
‘The dentist won’t care about my dental phobia.’
Dental phobia is a widespread fear and is exacerbated by not knowing what might happen at your upcoming appointment. Drawing on years of experience and expertise, our Harlow dental team ensures our patients know what to expect during their visit to help alleviate their fears.
Whether you are a regular or new patient, we treat all visitors with the same gentle and calming attitude whilst ensuring they are well informed throughout their appointment. We will never carry out treatment without the patient first feeling comfortable and relaxed in the dental chair.
