Dental Sedation

More about this treatment

More in-depth information

During dental treatments it is normal to feel some anxiety and fear. Sedation will help alleviate those feelings to allow you to physically and mentally relax during the dental treatment. Sedation is also used during longer dental treatments and more complex Implant or surgical treatments.

Before your dental treatment, medicine is given into a vein via a small cannula. This makes you feel sleepy and relaxes you both physically and mentally. The medicine is given to you by an Anaesthetist or a Dental Sedationist. The sedation effect lasts for 24 hours and you will need someone to take you home after your treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What will happen on the day of my treatment?

The Sedationist will attach some monitoring equipment onto you, which includes a blood pressure cuff on your arm and a clip on your finger to measure your oxygen levels.

The sedative medication is given through a cannula which is put into a vein in your arm or back of your hand. More sedative can be given, if you need it, during the procedure.

Will I be asleep during the dental treatment?

No, you will not be asleep. However the medication will allow you to be aware but fully relaxed and calm. You may experience a short period of memory loss during the time the sedation is effective. This can make you feel like you were asleep.

What does Sedation feel like?

This will vary between people but you usually feel pleasantly relaxed. When we asked some patients what it felt like, some answers were:

‘I felt very spaced out and dreamy.’
‘I thought I had been awake, but a few hours felt like a few minutes.’
‘I felt really relaxed and happy.’

How will I feel after Sedation?

There are very few side effects after having Sedation. Most people feel tired and you may go home and have a sleep. Some people can feel fine and unaffected but your reactions can be slower.
