Mental health matters and feeling supported can make all the difference.
This World Mental Health Day, we're sharing Sharon's story.
Like many people, Sharon experienced dental anxiety, making it difficult to take the first step towards the treatment she wanted. With the support of Dr Ruairi Leonard and the team at mydentist Cowpen Road, Sharon felt listened to, understood and cared for throughout her journey.
Using sedation to help her feel comfortable during treatment, Sharon was able to move forward with confidence. Today, alongside her beautifully restored smile with cosmetic crowns from , she has a renewed sense of self-confidence.
Dental anxiety can have a real impact on wellbeing, which is why creating a supportive and understanding environment for our patients is so important. Everyone deserves to feel heard, respected and empowered to take positive steps for their health when they're ready.
If you've been putting off a visit because you're feeling nervous, our team is here to help.
