Sedation for Nervous Patients
Sedation helps to relieve anxiety associated with the dentist and allows you to feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment, yet still fully conscious. This is an excellent choice for patients who need a long dental procedure, or experience dental anxiety or a gag reflex. Dental sedation treatment has many advantages over general anaesthesia, with its reduced recovery time and fewer side effects. During the sedation appointment, your heart rate, oxygen and blood pressure are closely monitored by expert clinicians, making this procedure consistently safe and effective.
