Does your patient tense with fear at the thought of visiting
the dentist?
Would your patient rather endure the agony of toothache than step into a dental surgery?
Are some of your young patients unable to sit still for extended treatment?
What is Sedation UK?
Our team of trained sedation practitioners provide the highest standard of conscious sedation for the safe and effective management of anxiety and pain for patients who are phobic, fearful, undergoing extended or unpleasant procedures or have other challenges such as a pronounced gag reflex. As you know, avoiding the dentist may put your patient’s overall health at risk. Whether your patients have been postponing a simple dental check-up, restorative care or given up on their dream of a brand-new smile, SEDATION UK is here to support you in caring for your patients. We offer sedation solutions that make dental treatments not only tolerable but even comfortable using various sedation techniques, including Oral Sedation, Inhalation Sedation and IV Sedation.
IV Sedation
IV Sedation is a management technique that uses various medications to assist your patients cope with their fear & anxiety, and to cooperate during dental treatment. The medications are administered intravenously, and the procedure is usually carried out by a healthcare professional trained in this technique. The drugs used for IV Sedation produce either partial or full amnesia during treatment.
Inhalation Sedation
Nitrous Oxide is used during Inhalation Sedation for its anaesthetic and analgesic effects. A mask is placed over your patients’ nose and the Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen mixture is regulated very precisely by the RA machine. The mixture can be constantly adjusted to meet your patients’ needs. Your patients will be conscious and relaxed throughout the treatment but will find that they are unable to recall much about their treatment.
Oral Sedation
Oral Sedation is prescribed for relieving anxiety in patients in the hours immediately before a dental appointment. An anti-anxiety pill, prescribed by one of our dental professionals, is usually taken an hour before your patients’ appointment to ensure they are as comfortable as possible whilst undergoing treatment.
