Sedation Dentistry

Many people suffer from anxiety related to going to the dentist. Fear of needles, previous dental trauma, and generalized anxiety can all lead to nervousness about dental visits. Oral sedation is a method of conscious sedation dentistry which can help anxious patients feel more relaxed. The dentist is able to adjust the level of sedation based on the comfort level of the patient. Local Anaesthetic is typically given to relieve pain at the site of the dental procedure. Oral sedation is safe and effective for moderate to severe anxiety and can greatly benefit patients who typically avoid going to the dentist because of anxiety.
