Deep sedation

[Nicole]

Hi

I am a very nervous patient who is really scared of needles and drilling. I can't stand anything that enters my mouth and the drilling is particularly scary for me.

I would need really deep sedation for any dental treatment carried out. Could you please tell me if you provide deep sedation for fillings and crowns. I need one root canal, one crown and 2 fillings under deep IV sedation.

I tried IV sedation in another practice last years for some cleaning and it did not work very well because it was too light. Could you tell me if you provide genuine deep sedation?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Without doubt we can provide you with deep sedation at pearl dental clinic as we have done so many times before. Our IV sedation is carried out by an experienced operating theatre anaesthetist. She is well qualified to use the combination of drugs that can produce very deep sedation beyond any other sedation that is induced by means of single drug Iv sedation like medazolam. A lot of the sedationist (as they are mostly dentist) are not qualified or licensed to use combination drugs to induce iv sedation at dental practices. So have now doubts about how deeply you can be sedated at Pearl Dental Clinic.
