It is common to feel anxious about a visit to the dentist.

Many dentists are now aware of the phobia surrounding dentistry, and offer treatments such as sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during emergency procedures.

What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation uses medication to ease you into a relaxed, comfortable state during a dental procedure. This means that you will feel less stress and anxiety during treatment. It is a perfect solution for those who suffer dental phobia but require emergency dental treatment. Dental sedation is not an anaesthetic and will not make you unconscious but rather allow you to enter a relaxed, sedative state whilst treatment takes place.

Benefits of Dental Sedation

a) Patients can experience from their dental anxiety
b) Patients are unable to feel discomfort whilst under sedation
c) It is compatible with a number of different emergency dental treatments

There are a variety of sedative medications available that are used to relax patients.

Patients with a sensitive gag reflex can undergo dental treatment with ease as the muscles will be completely relaxed
