Dental Sedation Monmouth, South Wales

Sedation is a great option for nervous patients and anyone who feels anxious about receiving treatment. With safe and proven techniques, we administer sedation medication to place you in a relaxed and dream-like state, making it feel as though your appointment passes in no time.

The experienced team at The Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre, our experienced team has successfully helped thousands of patients in South Wales overcome lifelong fears and dental phobias, enabling them to receive the essential treatment they need.

Sedation facts

  • It really works! You really can relax through your dental appointment
  • When sedated you will be conscious, but unaware of what is going on around you
  • You will have little or no memory of the experience

When receiving sedation you will be fully informed beforehand of any potential side effects and given advice to help with your recovery. You may be advised to bring someone along with you to the appointment who is able to take you home afterwards, and it's advisable to rest for the remainder of the day. You should be back to normal within 24 hours.

We offer the following types of sedation at The Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre. Your dentist will be able to help you advise which type of sedation is right for you:

IV sedation

IV sedation is a very effective and safe way of treating those with moderate to severe anxiety and even phobia. This technique is started by the anaesthetist and involves the use of a small cannula (needle) placed in the back of the hand or the arm through which a sedative is administered prior to treatment.

As a patient you are conscious for the entire procedure, but don’t let this put you off. You will experience an extremely relaxed state, to the point of drowsiness. Many patients are more than happy to take a nap during treatment. IV sedation is not intended to put you to sleep or make you unconscious like a general anaesthetic, you just feel so relaxed and oblivious to your surroundings that you are happy to doze off. Because of this time passes in what appears to be minutes, even when undertaking many hours of treatment.

Oral sedation

Oral sedation is most suited to those with mild to moderate anxiety.

This technique involves swallowing a drug, normally 30 to 60 minutes before the start of dental treatment to induce a relaxed state.

With refined care and expertise we’ve been helping patients throughout Monmouthshire and wales manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too. Take the first step today…why not give us a call on 01600 712020 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.
