What Is Sedation Dentistry and Why Is It Important?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience. This approach is ideal for individuals with dental anxiety, low pain thresholds, or those requiring lengthy or complex treatments. At About Smiles, we offer a range of sedation options tailored to your needs, making every visit as easy and relaxing as possible.

Types of Sedation Dentistry Available

Oral Sedation: A pill taken before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed. This option is ideal for moderate anxiety and less invasive procedures.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Inhaled through a mask, nitrous oxide provides a mild sedative effect while keeping you awake and responsive during treatment.

IV Sedation: Administered through a vein for a deeper, dream-like state of relaxation. This method is perfect for longer or more complex procedures.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Reduced Anxiety: Helps nervous patients feel at ease and confident about visiting the dentist.

Pain-Free Procedures: Minimises discomfort, making treatments more tolerable.

Efficient Treatment: Allows for multiple or lengthy procedures to be completed in fewer visits.

Enhanced Comfort: Eases the challenge of sitting still for extended periods or dealing with dental instruments.

How Sedation Dentistry Works at About Smiles

STEP ONE

Consultation:

Discuss your dental history and concerns with your dentist to determine the best sedation option for your needs.

STEP TWO

Preparation:

Follow any pre-appointment instructions, such as fasting or arranging transportation if oral or IV sedation is recommended.

STEP THREE

Sedation Administration:

Your dentist administers the chosen sedation method, ensuring you feel calm and comfortable before beginning the procedure.

STEP FOUR

Procedure:

With sedation in place, your dentist completes the treatment while you remain relaxed and stress-free.

STEP FIVE

Recovery:

After the procedure, you’ll be monitored to ensure a safe recovery. For oral or IV sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home.
