A mild valium type sedative administered by a medically
qualified anaesthetist whilst the dentist carries on
with his work.
Many people experience great anxiety prior to, and
during dental treatment. This is quite normal, and
nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.
Sedation is an excellent way of dealing with your
anxiety whilst allowing the dentist to carry out the
work you know needs doing.
It is a feeling of deep relaxation with the loss of
feelings of anxiety and worry, together with an inability
to remember the dental treatment afterwards - a big
incentive to being happy to repeat the experience when
necessary!
The anaesthetist introduces the sedative via the arm
- only one small scratch is needed, right at the beginning.
His duty is to monitor you continually, and to adjust
the level of sedation to provided maximum comfort.
Local anaesthetic injections are still given to make
the mouth numb, but you are not aware of them being
done.
At the end of the session you're able to walk away,
though a companion is mandatory, and driving a and
operating potentially dangerous equipment is forbidden
for 24 hours.
We have found this wonderful system transforms the
lives of people who have not been able to look after
their teeth because of anxiety about dentistry.
If this applies to you, call us today for more details
- let this system help restore your confidence in your
smile.
