Dental phobia or anxiety affects a large proportion of the population, with many people so distressed at the thought of dental treatment that they completely avoid the dentist. If this avoidance persists it can sometimes lead to the development of dental health problems in need of treatment.
At Smile Solutions we want every patient who walks through our doors to receive the treatment they need, while feeling calm and relaxed during their visit. That is why we offer sedation dentistry for any patient who feels particularly nervous at the thought of undergoing dental treatment.
Sedation gently eases the patient into a state of complete calm, in which the patient experiences no pain or feelings of anxiety. Sedation differs from general anaesthetic in that the patient is conscious during the procedure and can breathe unaided. Patients will not remember their treatment afterwards but will nevertheless remain communicative throughout the treatment process.
Sedation treatment can be administered orally or intravenously (via the vein). Although you will be conscious before and after your treatment it is best for a friend or family member to help you home.
Allowing dental pain or conditions to develop can make the problem progressively worse, so it is always best to receive treatment in good time. However, we completely understand the feelings of distress many people have in respect to dental treatment. But we will ensure that we always listen to your needs, provide a calming and relaxing environment and offer pain-free treatments and techniques to help ease your anxiety.
We want all our patients to have gorgeous, healthy smiles without pain or anxiety. If you feel that sedation dentistry could help you achieve the smile of your dreams please get in touch.
