Is Dental Phobia Common?
Absolutely – You are not alone!
Around one in five people in the UK are afraid of visiting the dentist. It’s an incredibly common anxiety that many people share. That’s why at TwentyOneDental, we go above and beyond in making the experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible. From the moment you enter our clinic, we’ll tend to your needs and help put any worries you have at ease.
Patient-Focused Support
Upon arrival at the clinic, patients receive a warm welcome from a compassionate team committed to ensuring comfort and alleviating stress. As an accredited dental phobia clinic, TwentyOneDental specialises in treating nervous patients, offering personalised care throughout your patient journey. In order to promote relaxation, patients may choose to listen to music from our in-house library, use their personal audio devices with their preferred playlists during procedures or watch a movie of your choice. If you prefer not to wait in the patient lounge, we have a dedicated relaxation suite with soft music, comfy blankets and a choice of refreshments where you can wait before being seen for your appointment. If you wish to bring a friend or relative with you, they are of course welcome too.
A Luxurious, Calming Environment
In addition to excellent clinical care, the clinic also offers a dedicated sedation suite designed to enhance patient comfort. This suite features soft ambient lighting, calming music, and cozy amenities such as blankets, as well as pre-arranged food options that cater to individual patient dietary requirements. Throughout the procedure, the sedation specialist and the clinical support team continuously monitor the patient’s oxygen levels and vital signs to ensure maximum safety and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can you use sedation for?
How long do the sedatives last?
The sedatives will last long after your treatment so it is important that you don’t do anything unsupervised at least for the rest of the day. Make sure you don’t operate any machinery or are left to your own devices. The sedatives will affect your ability to make any rational decisions and you could accidentally put yourself at risk.
Does sedation make you sleepy?
While the sedation will make you drowsy for a while, it doesn’t put you to sleep during the procedure. We will need you to be lucid and awake.
Will I be able to work the next day?
Everyone is different with how long the drugs last. You may prefer to take the following day off work in case you feel drowsy the next day. If you do still feel the effects, don’t drive.
Will sedation affect any medication I am taking?
It depends. Some medications will be fine, but some can have side effects. We will need to know what medication you are on before we agree to use sedation. We will also need to know of any allergies or existing medical conditions.
