Questions we're asked
Gentle dentistry FAQs: Birmingham, Solihull and Bromsgrove
How does the “Stop” signal work in practice?
At the start of your visit, we will agree on a signal—usually raising your left hand. The moment you raise your hand, your dentist will stop immediately. This gives you the peace of mind that you can take a break whenever you need one.
Is gentle dentistry more expensive?
No. Our gentle approach is a core part of our philosophy and is included as standard in our care. We simply believe that taking a little extra time to ensure your comfort leads to better long-term results and a happier patient.
Can I bring someone into the surgery with me?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring a trusted friend or family member to sit with you. Having a familiar face nearby can provide an extra layer of emotional support and help you feel more secure during your appointment.
