Daunting Dental Appointments a Thing Of The Past with Sedation in Leeds

4361359_blogDo you dread going to the dentist? Have you missed your last few appointments because you can’t bear the thought of sitting in the dental chair? If this sounds like you, we can help. Sedation is a very effective treatment for nervous patients.

What is sedation?

Sedation is a treatment used to help patients feel more relaxed when they require dental treatment. Sedatives induce a state of calm and prevent patients from feeling any pain and they can help prevent patients from feeling nervous in the run-up to a procedure, as well as during treatment.

There are various methods of sedation, including inhalation, oral sedation and IV (intravenous) sedation.

Sedation is often compared to anaesthetic, but it is not the same as having general anaesthetic because you remain conscious during the procedure. If you want to, you will be able to talk to your dentist during treatment.

After sedation, it’s normal to feel a little sleepy and it takes up to 24 hours for the full effects of the medication to wear off.

If you have dental anxiety or dental phobia, don’t suffer in silence. We can help to make daunting dental appointments a thing of the past and enable you to have the treatment you need without any fear.
