I have been a dentist shopper for awhile now. My husband had recommended his dentist Dr Steve England to me for awhile. Reluctantly i made an appointment and asked the receptionist for the kindest and most gentlest dentist they had, the one who can deal with anxious and frightened patients. They said all are good of course but Dr Michael was especially good with scared patients. So i booked my first appointment, hesitantly i was accompanied by his assistant into the room. Dr Michael asked if i had any issues straight away. Yes i replied i hate coming to the dentist. He calmed me down and reassured me that they wouldn't be doing anything today, just an examination and talk about what next. Dr Michael offered many options for pain relief, including local and general anesthetic. Over the top i know but this is why my teeth got in the bad condition they are. But what he suggested for options was just what i needed and wanted to hear. Someone who cared about my fear and anxiety and mental well being. I am proud to say that i have had two more appointments using a combination of medications and treatments, without incident. I feel calm and reasonable to make more appointments as needed and will not let my teeth get into a bad state again.
