Dental Pobia

If you’re nervous about seeing a dentist, you’re not alone. Dental phobia affects thousands of patients in London. It can range from minor anxiety that leaves you feeling uncomfortable in the treatment chair right through to a full-blown phobia that prevents you from visiting us.

Dr Neera Maini understands the negative impact that dental phobias can have on your oral health – especially if it means you haven’t had a dental checkup in years.

Dr Maini has created a relaxing environment at Aqua Dental Clinic, using a range of relaxation techniques to put even the most anxious patients at ease. Our nervous patient programme is one of the reasons patients travel from across the UK and sometimes from overseas to see us.

“Can highly recommend this place, particularly for nervous patients or patients with dental phobia. The lovely receptionist Annie makes sure you'll feel comfortable from the moment you come through the door. During the treatment you can choose between a range of items to put you at ease (blanket, cushion, playing your favourite music, watching a movie etc.) and you even have the option for sedation. Dr. Maini is very understanding of possible concerns and will explain everything in detail. Overall just a great, spa-like atmosphere which doesn't feel anything like most dental surgeries.”

“Excellent Practice with excellent people! Being very nervous of the Dentist has always been a problem for me, but not any more! From the moment I walked into the clinic and was welcomed by Baljit the Receptionist, to the actual treatment with Dr Maini, I was made to feel relaxed and at ease. The treatment I had was excellent, can highly recommend.”
