Nervous Dental Patients
It's perfectly common to be nervous when going to the dentist. Everybody is a bit nervous really.
But there's lots of things we can do to help make people feel better about coming to see a dentist.
Sedation is a great option for people that are feeling anxious about dental treatment.

How Can I Calm My Anxiety At The Dentist?
We understand that attending the dentist can be a daunting experience for many people. It can bring up scary childhood experiences, feelings of overwhelm and of course, anxiety.
At 3Dental, we are very aware of this and we go to great lengths to provide you with a friendly, comfortable experience.
In this video, Jennifer McPhilemy (on our reception team in Limerick) recites a story of how she recently dealt with an extremely nervous patient.
The Next Step For Nervous Patients
We would encourage all patients who perhaps feel a bit nervous, to give us a call. We would love to take the time to speak with you over the phone to address your concerns.

What Our Initially Nervous Patients Have Said
For anyone like me who has had fears of the dentist, then 3Dental is the place for you. It’s now not a fear anymore, it’s an enjoyment coming to the dentist! Paul Fitzgerald
I was always terrified of going to the dentist, (but ) I'm thrilled that I (went ahead and) did it. The staff are absolutely brilliant. Everyone makes you feel welcome. It's so comfortable to be here and everyone is so friendly. It's so much easier to smile and talk now! Sandra Dolan
My initial thought of a dentist was fear, however, as soon as I stepped into 3Dental, I found the staff to be extremely friendly, very outgoing, very professional and it’s a very warm environment to be in. Not like your usual dentist experience! Donna Marie
