For a big number of people a fear of the dentist is a common fear and sometimes can be a very stressful and upsetting thing. This can also lead to them putting off serious dental work that needs to be carried out because they simply cannot face going to the dentist.

A fear of the dentist can be caused by a number of things, a bad experience as a child with the dentist and it has stuck with you throughout your lifetime or maybe a bad treatment at a previous dentist and the procedure went wrong, leaving you feeling and looking worse then you did before you took the treatment.

There is now the option of undergoing sedation dentistry so that you can go to the dentist without the fear of pain or fear that you may stop the procedure at any time for any reason. Sedation dentistry allows the dentist to give our patients the ability to conquer their fear of the dentist.

With Sedation Dentistry, patients are now able to go through complex dental treatments in just one consultation. What will normally take six to eight sessions; Sedation Dentistry techniques now allow your dentist to shorten that by up to one consultation. This is a major plus for people who do not want to keep coming back for the same treatment to be finished.

Because you will feel no pain at all, you will be at ease and relaxed all throughout the procedure. Even though you will not be unconscious, Sedation Dentistry will keep you in a deeply relaxed state, so you are still aware of what is going on around you. From treating gum diseases, to repairing chipped teeth, to dental implants, Sedation Dentistry may be used for any type of dental procedure.
