What is dental sedation?
Dental sedation is a medical approach to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an ideal solution for those who experience dental anxiety or fear, making it possible to undergo treatments with ease and comfort. Unlike general anaesthesia, where you’re completely unconscious, sedation dentistry allows you to be relaxed while still awake and responsive.

Benefits of dental sedation?
Reduces dental anxiety, perfect for those who feel nervous about dental visits.
Minimises discomfort during procedures that might be uncomfortable or painful.
Allows for multiple dental treatments in one visit, saving time.
You may have little to no memory of the procedure, making it a stress-free experience.
Helps control your gag reflex, making treatments easier and quicker.

Types of dental sedation
Minimal sedation
A mild sedative is used, usually inhaled or taken orally, to help you relax while staying awake and alert.
Moderate/conscious sedation
You will feel a deeper level of sedation, perhaps some drowsiness, and you could even fall asleep. Your dentist can easily wake you up, and you’ll still be able to respond to their prompts.
Deep sedation
With this sedation, you’ll be on the edge of consciousness – you may not be able to respond to prompts or remember most of the procedure.
General anaesthesia
This is the deepest level of sedation where you will be fully asleep – only trained professionals can provide this type of sedation.
Inhalation sedation
Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is inhaled through a mask; this sedation option allows for relaxation during treatment, with effects wearing off quickly after removing the mask.
Oral sedation
This is a great choice for minimal to moderate sedation where you’re drowsy but still awake – simply take a pill roughly an hour before your treatment.
Intravenous (IV) sedation
This is a fast-acting sedation received through an IV straight into your vein. With this type, your dentist can closely control your level of sedation, making it a great choice for more complex dental procedures.
