Ask Me Anything: I'm a Dentist Who Truly Understands Dental Fear

[GurinderMatharu]

Hi everyone,


I'm Dr. Gurinder Matharu, Principal Dentist at Bradbury Dental Surgery in Campbelltown, Australia. I’ve spent over 15 years working closely with patients who have dental anxiety, phobias, or have avoided dental care for years due to fear. If that’s you—I genuinely understand.


I created this profile to open a space where you can ask questions, express concerns, or simply talk about your experiences without judgment. Whether it's fear of pain, needles, bad past experiences, or embarrassment about your teeth—you're not alone, and you deserve compassionate care.

Some of the things I specialize in include:

• Creating calm, pressure-free environments
• IV sedation for anxious patients
• Treatment plans that go at your pace
• Care for children and families with special needs

If you have questions—about procedures, how to talk to your dentist, what to expect, or how to ease your anxiety—feel free to ask me here. This isn’t about promoting a clinic, but about building trust and helping you take the first step toward better oral health.


Looking forward to chatting and helping however I can.
Warm regards,

Dr. Gurinder Matharu
BDS | Bradbury Dental Surgery

OK, I'll go first - why would you choose to base yourself in an Indian city known for its call centres and Business Process Outsourcing companies for the purposes of answering questions here? Wouldn't have been more convenient to do this from the comfort of your dental office (or your home) in Australia?
