Sedation for Dental Treatments
Sedation proves highly effective in helping nervous patients relax during dental procedures. Here’s why it’s preferred:
- Highly beneficial for patients experiencing apprehension before treatment.
- Fast-acting – you’ll feel the effects within seconds.
- Administered using a very small needle (a cannula).
- Has the potential to positively change your outlook on dental visits.
Helping Nervous Patients Find Confidence
Sedation induces deep relaxation, often described by patients as a comforting “high” sensation. Any pre-existing anxiety dissipates rapidly once the sedative takes effect, leaving you calm throughout the dental procedure.
Because sedation is amnesic, patients typically have minimal or no recollection of the procedure afterward. While the sedative wears off, you may feel slightly drowsy.
An intriguing aspect of undergoing treatment under sedation is the newfound confidence patients often experience. Many no longer feel the need for sedation in subsequent procedures once they establish a trusting relationship with their dentist.
At Bespoke Dental Fulham, fostering this trust and transparency is paramount.
Sedation and Its Applications
Virtually any dental procedure can be performed under sedation, including
- Root Canal Treatment
- Extractions
- Oral surgery (such as implant surgery)
Additionally, we can conduct routine check-ups under sedation, which we recommend to nervous patients who may have avoided dental visits for several years.
