Sedation
Oral Sedation
It is the simplest and cheapest option whilst you’re in our clinic. Dentist might prescribe oral sedative for you to take before you visit to the surgery, or alternatively, you will be given medicine in the practice half an hour before your treatment. You will feel relaxed whilst having your procedure. You will be conscious what is happening around you, and you will be able to respond to any requests.
Hospital sedation refers to the general anaesthetic or intravenous sedation performed under a qualified anaesthetist in the hospital or our surgery. You will be sedated while we are performing your dental treatment. The acceptance to the sedation requires a comprehensive medical check and an agreement between the dentist and the anaesthetist.
Different sedation options have different advantages and drawbacks. We are happy to discuss with you the best option based on your particular conditions.
