Dental Sedation London

Our locations

It is common to feel anxious or nervous about a visit to the dentist, but in a dental emergency it is important that you get to a dentist as soon as possible to treat the problem. Many dentists are now aware of the phobia surrounding dentistry, and offer treatments such as sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during emergency procedures.

What is Dental Sedation?

Dental sedation uses medication to ease you into a relaxed, comfortable state during a dental procedure. This means that you will feel less stress and anxiety during treatment. It is a perfect solution for those who suffer dental phobia but require emergency dental treatment. Dental sedation is not an anaesthetic and will not make you unconscious but rather allow you to enter a relaxed, sedative state whilst treatment takes place.

Types of Dental Sedation

There are several different types of dental sedation, including:

Intravenous (IV) sedation
Oral sedation
Inhalation sedation
