I am extremely nervous of dental treatment, will I cope?
If you can make it to sit in the dental chair, we will relax you to such an extent, that the dental procedure is almost pleasurable. Many patients do not remember the treatment they have had done.
What if I gag and choke a lot during treatment?
Sedation removes the gag reflex, and enables patients who suffer from this to have dental treatment. No more choking and having a general feeling that you cannot breathe.
I don't go numb with injections, what about this?
With the help of sedation you will, don't worry.
How will I feel for the rest of the day?
You may feel very groggy. You must not drive, handle any machinery or do anything that may injure yourself or, for that matter, anyone else. Relax, take it easy and let the person who attended with you look after you.
Do I need someone to attend with me?
Yes, you will need to be escorted by someone. If you attend alone, we will NOT carry out your treatment for you under sedation.
