I cannot thank Dr. Jess and the team at Cwtch Dental enough. Their trauma-informed approach has made a world of difference to me.
I have a history of serious childhood abuse, and as a result, I find some experiences in life incredibly difficult. Many years ago, I had a horrific experience with a dentist who forcefully held me down to take a mold, causing a full-blown panic response. That experience kept me away from the dentist for years.
When Cwtch opened, I reached out to the owners, and from the start, they were incredibly understanding. Recently, I needed a root canal, and despite knowing I was in safe hands, the procedure triggered a trauma response. Dr. Jess was beyond amazing, she was gentle, patient, and compassionate throughout. She let me stop and sit up as often as I needed, never showing frustration, only kindness. When I became overwhelmed and apologised repeatedly, she reassured me, and at one point, even wiped my tears.
Having a trauma-informed dental practice makes an enormous difference to those of us who have experienced abuse or assault. The care I received at Cwtch has not only helped me manage my fear of dental treatment but also restored a sense of safety in a space that once felt impossible for me. I am so deeply grateful for their understanding, kindness, and expertise.

I’ve visited Cwtch Dental recently for a new patient examination, a scale and polish with Michelle, and two fillings later on with Dr Sarah.
Everything was super easy from start to finish - the online booking system, availability of appointments, parking, the staff (so lovely!), dental surgery and the treatments themselves. I get a tad nervous with anything dental related but everyone was so nice at Cwtch that my nerves were settled quickly.
I would certainly recommend this place.
