Dental Treatment Under Sedation
For many patients, visiting the dentist can be a nerve-wracking experience. If you experience dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex or require an extensive procedure, dental sedation treatment offers a solution that allows you to remain calm and comfortable. Unlike general anaesthesia, dental treatment under sedation keeps you fully conscious while relieving anxiety.
