Sedation Dentists
Here at Taunton Dental and Implant Centre, we understand that dental anxiety and fear can be significant barriers to receiving essential dental care, and we are committed to ensuring your comfort and relaxation throughout your dental treatment.
Understanding Dental Sedation:
Dental sedation is a safe and effective technique used to help patients relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. It involves the administration of medications that induce a state of relaxation, calmness, and sometimes even sleepiness, depending on the type and level of sedation used.
Types of Dental Sedation:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation administered through a mask placed over the nose. It induces a relaxed and euphoric state, allowing patients to remain conscious and cooperative throughout the procedure.
Oral Sedation: Oral sedation involves the ingestion of a oral tablet prior to the dental appointment. This type of sedation is suitable for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety and your dentist is able to prescribe this to be taken 1 hour before the appointment.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Intravenous sedation involves the administration of sedative drugs directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous line. IV sedation provides a profound level of relaxation and may result in partial or complete memory loss of the dental procedure.
What we offer–
We provide IV Sedation here at Taunton Dental and Implant Centre, the ultimate in Sedation for severely anxious patients. You will need to book a sedation consultation with the dentist who can do the relevant medical assessment and discuss if this option is suitable for you.
Benefits of Dental Sedation:
Anxiety Reduction: Dental sedation helps alleviate anxiety and fear associated with dental visits, allowing patients to undergo treatment comfortably and without distress.
Increased Comfort: Sedation techniques promote physical and emotional comfort by inducing a state of relaxation and calmness throughout the dental procedure.
Improved Treatment Experience: With dental sedation, patients can undergo longer or more complex dental procedures in a single appointment, minimizing the need for multiple visits and reducing overall treatment time.
Enhanced Cooperation: Sedated patients are more cooperative and responsive to dental treatment, facilitating better communication between the dentist and the patient.
