At our practice we provide sedation for nervous patients
We are well aware that some people are so frightened about having dental treatment that they will not attend for treatment. No amount of reasoning will dispel this fear.
We are able to offer sedation for those patients. From our experience, patients are usually very surprised at how easy it is to cope with treatment carried out in this way.
What is sedation?
We offer intravenous or IV sedation. This is given by injection in the arm or back of the hand. The dose will depend on the amount of treatment needed and the length of time it will take to complete.
How will IV sedation affect me?
You become drowsy and relaxed, and unaware of any treatment but you are still able to co-operate with the dentist. The effects of sedative medicine take some time to clear the body and you must be accompanied for this treatment. You won't be able to drink alcohol, drive or work machinery for the rest of the day.
Ask us at the practice for more details or call us on 01730 265555.
