Why Rochdale patients choose us for care for nervous patients

Rochdale has plenty of dental practices, yet many Rochdale families make the short trip up the valley to us. Our dentists have deep roots in the borough: Dr Khalid Mushtaq has lived in Rochdale all his life and chairs the Bury & Rochdale Local Dental Committee, and two of our dentists oversee the out-of-hours emergency dental care for the area.

Dental anxiety is very common, and it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Perhaps you had a bad experience as a child, you dislike the sounds or smells, or it has simply been a long time. Whatever the reason, we will go at your pace.

Our practice has a calm, friendly atmosphere, and we treat every patient as we would want our own families to be treated. Our surgeries have soothing touches to help you relax, and you are welcome to listen to music during treatment.
