Sedation Dentistry
For some people, coming to the dentist can be a scary business. If you’ve been avoiding dental appointments because of lingering fears or worries, we understand. We know that you may need some extra reassurance to overcome your anxiety – and we’re happy to help.
At the Dental Health Group, we offer a caring, welcoming environment, where you can feel safe and relaxed. Our dentists and dental staff are experts in their fields. They’re always available to answer your questions and respond to any of your concerns. Knowing that you’re in good hands will go a long way towards calming your fears.
Nitrous Oxide
If you’re still feeling apprehensive, you can choose to have your treatment using nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide will help to keep you completely comfortable during your treatment. The gas eliminates any feelings of nervousness and anxiety, so you can stay awake and relaxed throughout your procedure.
Alternatively, your dentist may recommend a sedative pill that you can take just before your dental appointment. This light sedative will reduce your anxiety and make your experience in the dental office more comfortable.
Intravenous Sedation
For more complex procedures, such as extensive dental surgery, we can arrange to provide IV (intravenous) sedation for you. With IV sedation, you will feel relaxed and drowsy, with little or no nervousness. After your appointment, you may not remember much about your treatment and you will need someone to drive you home.
With sedation dentistry, you don’t have to avoid the dentist any longer. Protect your oral health and book your appointment today. Our experienced dental professionals will make every visit calm and comfortable, so you can enjoy the many benefits of a healthy, sparkling smile!
