Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide provides relaxation and anti-anxiety, as well as decreased pain to the user. It is controlled by the dentist, and administered by a mask covering your nose. You are still able to talk with your dentist, but this takes the edge off and allows you to feel very relaxed. Your dentist will be able to control the intensity of the inhalant so that he or she will be able to communicate with you during treatment.
Intravenous Sedation
At Evolution Dental Care, we are lucky enough to have a locum dentist, trained in IV Sedation, come occasionally to the practice on treat patients under sleep dentistry. Patients will have the IV sedation initiated and monitored by a qualified IV Sedationist and their dental treatment performed by one of our caring dental practitioners. This allows patients to have more lengthy procedures, whilst relaxing them to a state similar to sleep. Patients can still hear the practitioner, but after the procedure, can not recall much due to the sleep like state they undergo.
We always make sure our patients are medically fit and qualify for these sedation options prior to recommending and commencing.
Please do not delay your dental treatment due to dental phobias or anxiety. Our caring team are here to help. We offer a comfortable experience, with our with hour sedation, and are happy to answer any and all questions patients have.
