This ensures that you receive care which is in line with the most up to date thinking in preventative dentistry. | |
| At Wedmore Dental Surgery we offer homeopathy. Homeopathy is a useful method for relieving anxiety, without any side effects or sedative effects. It is very successful at relieving mild to moderately severe anxiety. Homeopathic remedies are matched to the 'picture' presented by the patient on a given day. This results in different remedies, for different patients, on different days for what might look like the same problem. | |
|
Am I on my own? |
|
| Many patients are nervous to some degree at the thought of having to visit the dentist. In the United Kingdom it is estimated that approximately 40% of the population does not attend the dentist regularly, because they are too apprehensive. In the past, very nervous patients were frequently given a general anaesthetic as the only means of enabling them to deal with having dental treatment. However, due to legislation, this is no longer available unless as a referral to hospital, and only for a limited number of procedures.. | |
| Nevertheless, there are still many methods available to help people cope with dental anxiety such as oral or intravenous sedation. However, due to the sedative effect of the drugs used, this type of treatment has the disadvantage that operating machinery or driving is not advisable for up to 24 hours after the treatment. | |

Homeopathy "will it help me?" |
||
|
* relaxed
|
Most aspects of dental treatment involve doing something physical, such as scaling and polishing your teeth to prevent gum disease, or replacing a broken filling. We are never complacent and understand that what may seem as a routine practice to us may be a huge hurdle for you. | |

|
Unlike most conventional drugs, which work by suppressing, a disease process, homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body in an attempt to restore the natural balance of the body.
|
* calming |
