What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation uses medication to relax patients during dental treatment. It can be administered via:
- Inhalation (nitrous oxide)
- Oral tablets
- Intravenous (IV) sedation
At Pearl Dental Clinic in Chessington, we choose the method best suited to each patient’s needs for a safe, calm experience.
Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?
Sedation is ideal for patients who:
- Feel anxious or fearful about dental visits
- Need long or complex treatments
- Have sensitive teeth
- Struggle to sit still for procedures
Chessington patients often find sedation allows them to receive necessary care without stress.
