For many people, the thought of visiting the dentist brings more tension than relief. Patients of all ages, from small toddlers to the elderly, frequently experience dental anxiety. At Malpas Dental Surgery, our mission is simple – to turn that fear into trust through comfortable dental care that prioritizes both your oral health and peace of mind.
Understanding Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety can be triggered by various factors:
- Previous negative experiences
- Fear of pain or needles
- Feeling a lack of control during treatment
- Sensitivity to sights, sounds, or smells in the clinic
At Malpas Dental, we listen first. Our approach begins with open communication, so you feel informed and in control every step of the way.
