Sedation
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry”.
Sedation is both safe and effective.

Benefits of sedation include:
- Patient relaxation;
- Increased patient comfort;
- Control of gag reflex;
- Little or no memory of treatment (amnesia); and
- Time saving, as generally fewer appointments are needed.

This form of moderate sedation involves receiving a combination of sedative (typically Midazolam) and pain-relieving drugs through a vein, so it goes to work more quickly. This method allows the dentist to continually adjust the level of sedation and is regarded as the most advanced form of dental sedation.
Regardless of which type of sedation you receive, local anaesthetic is always required.
Approximately 30% of the population avoids the dentist due to fear. All-too-commonly this prevents these people from receiving necessary routine dental care, potentially compromising their health.
