Friends and Relatives
A friend or relative may accompany you on your visit. If you wish to have this person present during your consultation, please inform the dental nurse. Requests will be accommodated where possible and practical. Having someone with you at this time can be helpful, especially if you are hard of hearing or anxious about your treatment.
Meals
