Dental Sedation

Dental Anxiety is very common and no one should feel that they are alone in this or feel guilty about it. The best thing to do is to communicate this to the dental team.

Here at A.W. Brown dental practice we understand that coming to the dentist can be very stressful. Our staff is well trained to help you ease your anxiety. We maintain a very friendly atmosphere and keep an open communication with all our patients, helping them to ease their fear and anxiety starting from the very moment you enter the practice.

Some of the main causes of anxiety are:-

1. Past traumatic experiences.
2. Fear of the unknown
3. Pain during dental treatment
4. Lack of control
5. Embarrassment and fear of judgement

To help our nervous patients we also offer IVsedation. The drug (Midazolam) has a relaxing and calming effect. Some people actually forget the treatment altogether. You remain conscious and can communicate with us throughout your procedure, but you’ll be in a significantly relaxed state and it will make you drowsy.

During the consultation for this procedure you will be assessed if you are suitable in terms of your weight, age and medical conditions. All instructions and advice will be given to you at that stage.
