\"dental-brentwood\"Types of sedation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We offer two types of sedation that will help you relax in the chair in order for us to treat your problems efficiently, both work very well and either will be used depending on the levels of anxiety you may have:<\/span><\/p>\n

Intravenous sedation<\/strong> – IV sedation is injected through the dermis and straight into the bloodstream and is supplied on a constant feed throughout treatment to keep you calm and happy. This works very well for patients who aren\u2019t afraid of needles and only the dental Brentwood<\/strong> procedures we offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inhalation sedation<\/strong> – happy gas is used on patients who cannot stand the sight of a needle, not only to set you at ease but to not arouse panic when we need to inject a local anaesthetic into your mouth. A mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen will be supplied to you through a small mask that is placed over your nose and mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

After treatment and sedation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While these sedation techniques for dental Brentwood<\/strong> will not send you into a deep sleep and allow you to remain conscious during the procedure, you will need someone to take you home when we are done, as the effects may last up to 4 hours and it is not advisable to operate heavy machinery such as a car for 24hrs after sedation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other things you can do<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While we can guarantee that our sedatives methods will leave you feeling calm and happy, if you feel it helps you to bring in some sort of security device to help set your mind at ease, then by all means do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress balls<\/strong> – These can offer a point to focus your anxieties on. Did you know that many people unconsciously hold tension in their mouths and jaw when they are stressed? Moving that tension to your hands and squeezing a stress ball may help you relax more in the chair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earphones<\/strong> – Calming music or even an audiobook may help you forget your troubles while you\u2019re in the chair, if you think it will help you, bring your Audible or Spotify along and let the sounds and voices wash over you when you are having work done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blanket<\/strong> – Some people may feel cold when the sedatives chemicals hit, if your dentist allows it, bring a freshly washed blanket in with you to cover your legs, this can help add a sense of security and comfort to your experience rather than feeling exposed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
