Before your treatment
An assessment appointment is normally arranged before any treatment is carried out. This allows us to discuss any anxieties you may have and assess your suitability for sedation. A thorough medical evaluation is carried out and you will be provided with a written treatment plan and estimate of costs.
Dental treatment under sedation
We use a drug called midazolam. This is given by gradual injection into the back of the hand until you are sufficiently relaxed to allow treatment. You will feel very relaxed and largely unaware of the dental procedure.
Your gums and teeth are numbed once you are sedated so that treatment is painless. Although you remain conscious and able to talk and respond during sedation, most patients remember very little about their treatment.
After treatment
You will need to remain at the practice for at least an hour after being given sedation. A suitable escort must attend with you and accompany you home by car or taxi. You must be looked after for 24 hours by a responsible adult.
