Acute general anxiety disorder gave me a phobia of dentists, leading to panic attacks so severe that full sedation was required for even minor dental work. This meant that my teeth were a mess – small issues became big problems, resulting in infections, abscesses, and multiple extractions.
When I first sat in Claire’s chair I knew things were going to be different: she was endlessly patient with me, talked me through procedures and made me feel comfortable. Her patience, calming approach - using breathing and meditation techniques - and helping me feel in control of the situation enabled me to remedy my dental issues, minimise my need for sedation, and even progress to proactive and cosmetic work.
Thanks to Clare I have a beautiful, healthy smile, and no fear of future work. I will ONLY see her and would highly recommend Claire to anyone – especially those who are nervous of dental work.
