Dental anxiety and related phobias are very common, with more than four in ten adults in the UK reported as being afraid of visiting the dentist.
At Fulwell & John Street Dental, it is important to us that all our patients feel as comfortable as possible about coming to our practices to receive the dental treatment they both need and deserve. We have an understanding and sensitive approach and also offer conscious IV sedation for those who require it.
Competitive prices and practice plans available
We aim to protect and enhance the smiles of all our patients, including those who are nervous about visiting the dentist. If you let us know in advance about your anxiety and any specific concerns you have, then we can be prepared and make sure you feel comfortable and supported when you arrive.
Dental phobias are usually formed at a young age and relate to early negative experiences. Our hope is to re-frame this over time by building new positive experiences. All of our team are experienced at helping nervous patients.
We are proud to have Dr Jane McAnally as our conscious sedation dentist here at Fulwell & John St Dental.
Jane trained at Newcastle University from 2010-2015. She went on to completed a diploma in conscious sedation in 2017.
Associate Dentist
We have a highly accomplished sedation dentist who can provide conscious IV sedation for complex cases or for those who are particularly nervous. This allows patients to quickly feel more relaxed, sleepy and less anxious during procedures. Although consciousness and the ability to talk and follow instructions are maintained, details and specifics aren’t often remembered.
