Sedation for nervous patients

As well as providing a relaxing and calming setting for our patients and delivering high standards of care, we also offer techniques, which are designed to help patients to feel more relaxed, including sedation.

Sedation is a method, which is used in medicine and dentistry to help to prevent pain and enable patients to feel more relaxed during procedures, which may be scary or uncomfortable. With sedation, patients are not put to sleep in the same way as general anaesthetic, but they do feel completely relaxed and they don’t feel any pain.

When you are sedated, you feel a little drowsy and not really with it, but you are able to hear and speak and you will remain conscious. After the procedure, you probably won’t remember much and it can take up to 24 hours for the full effects of the sedative to wear off.

Whether you’re anxious about needles, you have a phobia of the dental drill or you’re very nervous because of bad experiences in the past, we can help you. Our dentists are here to treat any existing problems and prevent others and they are known for their caring and relaxed nature and our nursing and reception staff members are always there to greet you with a warm smile and help to reassure and comfort you. With you have us on board, we can do it together; you don’t need to worry about feeling embarrassed or ashamed and we can find ways to deal with specific fears, such as injections or pain. We offer consultations and we will also be happy to show you around and give you the chance to meet the team before you have treatment.

Find Peace Of Mind And Face Your Fears With Our Soothing Leeds Dentists

Tuesday, April 15th, 2014

3268322_blogGoing to the dentist can make most people feel a little anxious, but for some, the thought of sitting in the waiting room or lying in the dental chair is terrifying. We understand that having dental treatment can be a scary prospect and our dentists have training in caring for patients with dental fears.

We offer sedation for nervous patients, which helps to make you feel more relaxed and calm. Sedation is commonly used in medicine and dentistry and involves the use of sedative medication. Sedation is a less risky alternative to general anaesthetic; it doesn’t make you lose consciousness and you can still hear and communicate with your dentist. When you are sedated, you feel drowsy and completely calm and you won’t feel any pain.

After your dentist has finished treatment, they will give you medication to bring you around and it will take a while for the effects of the sedative to fade completely. Once you are ready to go home, we advise you to rest; we advise patients to ask a friend or relative to accompany them home, as it is not possible to drive after sedation.

One of the problems we face is that nervous patients have such profound fear that they put off going to the dentist for years on end and we want to help patients to conquer their fears, so that they feel confident and able to go to the dentist for regular appointments.  With sedation, the prospect of treatment is less daunting and we hope to make patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their time with us.

Overcoming your Dental Anxieties in Central Leeds

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Suffering from dental anxiety in the central Leeds can be very obstructive to getting the treatment needed to keep your mouth healthy, and anxiety can make it very awkward for your dentist to work around too. But these fears of the dentist must be confronted and the first person you should discuss your problems with- is your dentist, for they are trained to understand your fears. If you make a friend of your dentist and build up some form of relationship with them, the more likely you are to believe in what they say to you. It also allows you to express your worries about dental treatments and by understanding what’s involved in dental procedures, gives you a sense of choice and power back in the decision making for the work you require. There’s also a choice of relaxation techniques designed to put you at ease in the chair- some dentists even offer hypnotherapy. Of course, if it’s the thought of pain that give you anxiety, there are more tried tested ways to stop you feeling any pain, such as a varying choice of anaesthetics and sedatives and if your suffer from extreme anxiety, you may choose to be completely knocked out. There really are no anxieties that can’t be addressed and may take a big leap of faith to overcome, but in the end, the health of your mouth and subsequently, your body should be incentive enough to try to overcome these problems.
