Sedation
A fear of the Dentist is a highly common thing – with many of us avoiding a visit until it’s absolutely necessary – usually because we are in considerable pain!
Many feel anxious before a dental check-up but for many others this fear develops into a phobia with the mere thought of visiting a dentist causing symptoms including faintness, heart palpitations and shaking.
There is no particular reason for developing a fear of the dentist and it can happen to anyone at any time. More often than not it arises as a result of a negative experience in the past- normally in childhood. Anything from a painful or failed treatment, lengthy complications or an unsympathetic dentist who didn’t take the time to fully explain a procedure can all be contributing factors.
When a fear develops into a dental phobia it can be all encompassing- and those people who require immediate treatment due to serious dental problems will often choose to simply live with their issues- and can often be in significant pain as a result.
Let us help you overcome your fears
It’s really important to try and deal with the problem before you get to this stage. Don’t live in pain because you are scared. If you can visit the dentist on a regular basis for quick, comfortable check-ups it’s much more likely you’ll avoid the need for more involved treatments in the future.
Intravenous sedation
we are pleased to offer intravenous sedation. This highly effective sedation is administered quickly and comfortably with a needle in your hand. It will help you relax and feel calm. You will be able to communicate with your Dentist although most likely won’t be fully aware of what is going on around you!
Please do bear in mind that the effects of intravenous sedation can take several hours to wear off and because of this you will need to bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment so that they can help you get home. You will also need to make sure someone is around to look after you for a few hours after your procedure

Questions & Answers
Why have my teeth discoloured? This can be for a number of reasons; from smoking to consuming certain food or drinks or down to age and general wear. We can provide advice to improve your oral hygiene routine and maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
Will teeth whitening be painful? Although some patients report increased sensitivity during treatment, this should pass after a short time. We have selected treatments that will hopefully reduce any uncomfortable sensations and leave you with brighter, whiter teeth. We will also protect your gums from irritation when the whitening treatments are applied to the teeth.
How long does teeth-whitening treatment last? You will need to maintain your new smile with top-up treatments every few months, but these can be carried out at home. As always, we recommend maintaining a positive oral home care routine to keep your teeth and gums as clean and healthy as possible.
