Patient afraid of dental treatment

Experiencing the procedure without fear

The fear of pain often leads people to put off a visit to the dentist for a long time. Fear is an unpleasant but normal feeling that makes sense in many situations - we take it seriously.

Our treatment approach takes your individual situation into account. We ensure that treatment is as free of pain and discomfort as possible. It is important to us that you experience the procedure relaxed and calm. Stress-free, gentle treatment and procedures that are barely noticeable go without saying at Zahnzentrum Nidderau - and they support a swift recovery.

Anaesthesia and sedation

With our anaesthesia team we can treat completely free of pain not only under local anaesthesia but also under sedation (twilight sleep) and general anaesthesia. Pain relief can today be dosed precisely and safely. Before a procedure we inform you about risks, any follow-up treatment that may be necessary and alternative methods.

Which anaesthetic procedure is best for a particular treatment is decided together with our anaesthetist and with you. With gentle treatment options, minimally invasive procedures and individual pain relief we reduce the strain considerably.
