Sedation in Heswall

In many cases, a simple chat about a specific procedure and reassurance from compassionate professionals (that’s us!) can make all the difference to how you feel about dental treatment. However, we appreciate that this isn’t the case for everyone. If you would like to be blissfully unaware of what is happening around you when you have your treatment, IV sedation is the way to achieve this.

It’s not just anxious patients who can benefit from IV sedation. If you’re someone who has a strong gag reflex, IV sedation can relax your throat so that you don’t gag throughout the treatment process.

There is also no grogginess or ‘hangover’ after the effects of sedation wear off (as there often is with general anaesthetic). You are likely to feel a little drowsy, and you might find you remember very little about the procedure.

Yes. Virtually any procedure can be coupled with IV sedation. So even if it’s just a small or minor procedure such as a filling, you can still choose to have this carried out under sedation if you wish.
