A local anaesthetic is, in fact, part of many of our treatments such as root canals, but to help ease your anxiety during check-ups and other procedures, we will use a special dental sedation.
Dental sedation doesn’t put you to sleep, but it will place you in a very relaxed state. In this way, you’ll still be able to talk with your dental team without any of your usual nerves and anxieties.
There are several possible forms of dental sedation, but here at Summerfield Dental Practice, we use intravenous or IV sedation. This involves directly injecting the sedative into your vein via either the hand or arm.
We will, of course, talk you through all your options and endeavour to provide you with the most comfortable experience possible.
