What Is Dental Sedation?

Dental sedation is a technique used to help you feel at ease during treatment. It doesn’t put you to sleep like a general anaesthetic; you’re still conscious and able to talk with your dentist. Instead, it puts you into a deeply relaxed state, where you won’t feel any discomfort or pain.

Our Locations

Intravenous (IV) Sedation

Where a sedative is injected into your vein

Inhalation sedation

where you inhale a sedative gas through a mask that your dentist places over your nose and mouth.

What’s more, sedation isn’t just for invasive procedures. You can also have it for routine appointments like hygienist appointments, where your clinician will give you a scale and polish to ensure your teeth are thoroughly clean

Fear of pain

It’s easy to let fear of pain during dental treatment slip into your mind and put you off treatment. But your dentist can take necessary steps, including administering local anaesthetic, to relieve any potential pain. They can also offer you techniques to help you feel relaxed, such as sedation, which you can read more about in the section below.

Previous experiences

If you’ve had a bad dental, it doesn’t need to stop you from caring for your smile. When you visit us, our dentists will help you feel at ease. They are accustomed to dealing with anxious patients, so you know you’re in safe hands.

Phobia of needles

You should talk to your dentist beforehand if you don’t like needles. They can use numbing gels to minimise discomfort during the injection.

Fear of loss of control

Receiving treatment without knowing what’s happening may seem off-putting. Speak to your dentist about these worries, so they can suggest ways to help you feel comfortable. For example, your dentist could talk you through what they’re doing at each stage or come up with a signal if you want them to stop and take a break during treatment.

Confidence in your smile

If you haven’t visited the dentist in a while, even years, due to your anxiety – you may feel self-conscious or embarrassed about your smile. Here are Bupa Dental Care, we’re here to support you and ensure you always feel at ease, we’re not here to judge.

The cost of treatment

Money worries can cause unwanted stress and might result in you ignoring dental pain or discomfort. Speak to your dentist about payment options, you’re not alone.

What Happens After Dental Sedation?

After you’ve had sedation, and finished your treatment, you’ll recover in-practice to allow its effects to subside. Your clinician will wait to ensure you feel fully recovered before discharging you. We recommend not driving for 24 hours after sedation, so you should arrange for someone to pick you up and take you home. And you should avoid exercise for 24 hours.
