Sedation available for nervous patients

As a member of the Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD), we offer many ways to help anxious or nervous patients, including many of the latest sedation techniques. We understand that you may have a fear of visiting the dentist, or very sensitive teeth, or a severe gag reflex, or a real aversion to needles. If this is the case, please feel free to discuss your concerns with your dentist or a member of our practice team before your visit. That way, we’ll be able to create a treatment plan for you based around your needs.

If sedation is the best option, we’ll discuss this fully with you and make sure you understand what the technique involves. In this context, sedation doesn’t mean having a local or general anaesthetic, it simply means you’ll be sedated enough to feel relaxed and pain free – in fact you won’t even be able to feel what’s happening in your mouth during treatment.
