Helping to ease your dental anxiety
Are you among the 25% of the population avoiding the dentist due to dental fear? Although extremely common, dental anxiety is also concerning to the team here in London's E20, as the longer you go without seeing us, the more damage can be done to your long-term oral health. That’s why we're committed to helping our patients in Stratford, East Village and the surrounding areas to overcome their fears and receive the dental care they need.
What causes dental anxiety?
Whether your fear over a trip to the dentist is a touch of nervousness ahead of your appointment, or debilitating enough to stop you coming to us altogether, we understand and are here to help, with a caring and non-judgemental approach.
The causes of dental fear are numerous and can include:
Real experiences from real patients
The best way to understand what we’re like is to hear from the people who’ve been here. Here’s what our patients have to say about their experience with us.
I genuinely cannot thank my dentist enough for the fantastic job she's been doing! Andreea, you're my guardian angel! Kind, professional, caring for my anxiety and extremely sensitive hands I barely felt those extractions today, I'm already home eating well and no pain! WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! KUDOS to your assistant as well that was so lovely and let me squeeze her hand, her reassurance meant the world to me. WITH DEEP APPRECIATION AND RESPECT, Ralu x

Really, strongly impressed by the kindness and quality of care that Gayatri and team provide. They've been amazing as I've been working on dental anxiety, and incredibly understanding and supportive. Strongly, strongly recommend.

First experience with them, my wife recommended this clinic because she used them in the past. I am afraid of dentists, but this time they made me feel comfortable and helped me a lot, I did not feel nothing. I highly recommend this clinic.

I highly recommend Dr Maria Mitran, a highly skilled and professional dentist. As usual, she was very considerate and patiently explained the best treatment options. I am normally very anxious about having anything done to my teeth, but she worked very gentle and with care so I am much more comfortable going to my next appointment. I am very happy with how my dental work and plan is going so far. Definitely recommend My E20 dentist.

Dr. Gayatri Pattar is the best dentist ever!!! I went in for a check-up and cleaning before my wedding. I had always done my dental check-ups in my home country, so this was my first experience in the UK. I used to hate going to the dentist, but I have never felt so comfortable and at ease before. The entire experience was calm, reassuring, and genuinely pleasant.
