Jane from DENTL in East Melbourne gives us a glimpse into a typical day at the clinic, and for many patients, the highlight is meeting Uno. Therapy dogs in clinical settings are increasingly recognised for the role they play in helping patients who feel nervous or on edge, and at DENTL, Uno is very much part of the team.
A Day in the Life With Uno at DENTL
A Familiar Face in the Waiting Lounge
From the moment patients arrive, DENTL is designed to feel welcoming. Uno is often present in the waiting lounge, offering a calm and friendly presence before any treatment begins. For patients who feel anxious about dental visits, having a gentle distraction can make a meaningful difference to how they experience the appointment from the outset.
Supporting Nervous Patients
Dental anxiety is far more common than most people realise. At DENTL, the team takes a number of approaches to help patients feel at ease, from the pace of the consultation through to the care taken in explaining each step of any procedure. Uno is one of the ways DENTL goes beyond the clinical to create an environment where patients genuinely want to come back.
For patients who require additional support, DENTL also offers sedation dentistry and general anaesthesia for those who need a higher level of clinical comfort during treatment.
