Dental A to Z

Dental A to Z

Also in S:

Sedation

The use of safe and effective drugs to help nervous and apprehensive patients to relax. It ensures that the patient is fully conscious, but at the same time relaxed and co-operative. The dentistry is carried out under local anaesthesia to eliminate any painful experiences and patients often forget about their dental treatment and find the events difficult to recall.

Hypnotherapy and even acupuncture have also been used to reduce dental anxiety.
