Real Patient Story
Watch how one of our patients overcame years of dental anxiety and found a practice that finally felt right.
Patricia— A Nervous patient who hadn’t visited a dentist in over 10 years
If you’re looking for a nervous patient dentist Cambourne has one of the most understanding practices in the area. Patricia came to Monkfield Dental with a toothache she couldn’t ignore any longer. At 73, she had been avoiding the dentist for over a decade after a traumatic experience at a previous practice where she was told “not to be stupid” for complaining about pain. That single moment kept her away for ten years.
By the time she reached us, she had multiple loose teeth that needed extracting — some had deteriorated through to the bone. She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she also knew she couldn’t put it off any longer.
From her very first appointment, Dr Ricardo took the time to explain everything step by step — what needed to happen, why, and what she could expect at each stage. No rush, no judgement, just honest conversation and a clear plan.
Patricia describes the team as “absolutely amazing” and says she felt supported from the moment she walked through the door. The care she received at Monkfield Dental exceeded every expectation she had based on her previous experiences.
Since her first visit in April, Patricia has attended every single appointment without hesitation. In her own words: “Never thought I’d say I would come back to my dentist.”
Her message to anyone in a similar situation is simple — don’t leave it as long as she did. Find a practice that makes you feel safe, and get the care you deserve.
