Sunday Tip I am scared of visiting the dentist. What should I do? A fear of the dentist is very common. The first step would be to go for a dental check-up,when you telephone for this appointment, we would suggest that you mention to the receptionist that you are a nervous patient. At this appointment, the dentist will only carry out a full check-up and perhaps take some diagnostic X-rays, we would recommend that you take a trusted friend or relative along with you for support , the dentist will not mind you taking someone into the surgery with you. He will then discuss the necessary treatment. If you feel that you would prefer to have the necessary treatment carried out under sedation, if the dentist does not provide this himself, he can refer you to a sedation clinic for treatment.
