What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation involves using medication to help patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. It can be delivered in several ways:
- inhalation (nitrous oxide)
- oral tablets
- intravenous (IV) sedation
At Pearl Dental Clinic in Wandsworth, we assess each patient’s needs to determine the safest and most effective method.
Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?
Sedation is suitable for patients who:
- experience dental anxiety or phobia
- need complex or lengthy procedures
- have sensitive teeth
- have difficulty sitting still for treatment
Wandsworth patients who previously avoided dental visits often find sedation makes a huge difference.
