How sedation dentists help nervous patients

If you’re anxious about upcoming dental treatment, or have had an unpleasant experience in the past, we totally get it. Many patients, over a third in fact, admit to having some form of fear of the dentist. But believe us when we say that dental anxiety is as treatable as your teeth. We’re here to show you how sedation dentists can help nervous patients, while improving your smile in the process.

 

At Face Teeth Smile, we’ve seen many nervous dental patients benefit from expert dental treatment under sedation. It’s no surprise that most patients don’t enjoy a trip to the dental practice. But for as many as 10% of fearful patients, dental anxiety is rated as ‘extreme’.

 

We are specialists in treating nervous patients, and we have successfully helped many patients with extreme dental anxiety too. So if this sounds like you, keep reading to find out how our sedation dentistry treatments could be beneficial.

Dental anxiety can range from needle and dental phobia to concerns about pain, or insecurity caused by loss of control. Sedation dentists are specially trained to recognise and understand these fears. At Face Teeth Smile, we carry out procedures under dental sedation for nervous dental patients with proven success.

 

What is sedation dental treatment?

 

Dental sedation helps to keep you calm and relaxed during treatment. We don’t believe that any patient’s dental health should suffer as a result of fearing the dentist’s chair.

 

Sedation at the dental practice won’t send you to sleep as you’d expect with general anaesthetic. You’ll still be able to talk to your dentist, and you’ll be fully conscious during treatment.

 

Patients report feeling deeply relaxed under sedation, and cannot feel any pain or discomfort from treatment. So as your fear of the dentist diminishes, you can benefit from the best dental care.

 

Conscious sedation will help you to feel comfortable and relaxed during your dental visits, so a trip to the dentist is no longer an issue.

 

How can I benefit as a nervous dental patient?

 

Dental sedation is a solution for patients when things like numbing gels and local anaesthetic simply aren’t enough to carry out dental procedures on a nervous patient safely.

 

Our goal is to make your dental visit as stress-free as possible, while providing the best treatment for your oral health. So we offer sedation dentistry to reduce anxiety and help you to feel relaxed in the dental chair.

 

Whether you simply need a check-up on your oral health, or more invasive procedures and dental surgery, sedation can quickly induce feelings of deep relaxation so that your treatment is completed before you know it.

 

What happens during sedation treatment?

 

Dental sedation is used by specialist dentists to make dental procedures more comfortable for patients. It involves the use of medicines to help you to relax or sleep during dental surgeries. Sedation can vary from oral, intravenous or inhalation.

 

Your oral health will help us determine which type of sedation is best for you. Patients with serious medical conditions, such as heart disease, may not be able to receive IV sedation. In these circumstances, oral sedatives, otherwise known as conscious sedation, will be used.

 

Sedation allows your dentist to perform complex and routine procedures with fewer risks and less discomfort for yourself. Before undergoing any dental procedure, we ensure that you are relaxed and fully understand what’s involved, so nothing will come as a surprise.
