It’s spooky season! Jump scares, disturbing costumes, terrifying movies… but for some people, there’s nothing scarier than sitting in the dentist’s chair.
We see patients every week who struggle with dental phobia, avoiding seeking the treatment they need because of their anxiety. But the truth is that this avoidance can ultimately do more harm.
So, this Halloween, we want to show you how the team at Lister House Dental, Harlow, can help you face your fears and actually enjoy taking care of your smile!
Dental Phobia is Real
In the UK, around 44% of adults have a fear of the dentist – nearly half of the entire population! This could be due to bad childhood experiences, a fear of pain or simply the unknown. Whatever the reason for your anxiety, we can help.
Our Harlow dental team never judge and we never rush. We believe the best dentistry is as much about trust and communication as it is about high-quality treatment. So, if it’s been a while since your last dental appointment, you might be relieved to read that:
- We take things at YOUR pace, so you will never feel pressured.
- We explain everything, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
- We only use modern techniques and technology, which are far gentler than you’d expect!
- We practice private dentistry in a calming environment – no long waits, no big crowds.
- We have experience treating everyone from nervous adult patients to anxious children who’ve never visited the dentist before.

”“I was so nervous for my first hygienist appointment, but Laura and Maggie were so friendly and reassuring. They spoke to me throughout the whole appointment and made me feel calm and at ease. The fear was all in my head, as it did not hurt at all, and my teeth felt absolutely amazing after! The procedure was actually quite relaxing! I will be back in 6 months' time for my next appointment! Thank you so much, ladies.”

Patient Testimonial
”“I recently had a tooth implant treatment with Dr Hindocha. From the very beginning, she took the time to explain each step of the process in full and provided reading material to assist. The treatment itself was plain sailing - painless throughout, with Dr Hindocha ensuring I was comfortable. The end result is exactly what I hoped for - a functioning tooth! I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a professional service.”
