Sedation Dentistry offers patients the ability to conquer their fear of going to the dentist. If you break into a cold sweat when someone mentions the word 'dentist', Sedation Dentistry may be for you.

Many adults today put off seeing the dentist for years because of the fear they have. Sedation Dentistry offers the solution to patients suffering from dental anxiety by puting you in a state of relaxation and drowsiness that can effectively help you sleep during your treatment.

You may benefit from Sedation Dentistry if you:

• Dislike dental Injections
• Detest the noise of dental equipment - drills, suction hoses etc
• Gag easily and hate the taste during dental procedures
• Have sensitive teeth
• Are sensitive to the prospect of pain
• If you need to undergo dental treatment that may take a longer period of time to complete.

Sedation Dentistry enables you to become drowsy and generally sleep through the entire dental treatment. Sedation Dentistry begins about an hour before your actual dental treatment starts. A sedative is administered to you and after a short time you will feel very relaxed and enter a sleep-like state. During some dental treatment, anaesthetic is still administered to the patient.

Sedation Dentistry is a contemporary technique that is completely safe for patients. It enables patients who have a fear of the dentist to undergo dental treatment . Most patients who have utilised Sedation Dentistry during a procedure, have no memory of their treatment.
