Dental Sedation at Dental Smiles Chelmsford

Dental Sedation

Many people feel nervous about dental treatments, because of a past unpleasant experience, or general anxiety. Dental Sedation can help ease dental fears and allows you to relax during your treatment.

Your Treatment Journey

1. Consultation

The first step on your treatment journey with Dental Smiles Chelmsford is an in-depth consultation. It helps us to assess your smile, allows us to look over your dental history, and ensures you can discuss your treatment in advance. Our experts can help you manage any dental concern and offer treatments in a warm, friendly setting. What’s more, we have a range of techniques to help put fears to rest when you visit our Chelmsford practice.

2. Treatment

We can offer conscious sedation to nervous patients, which means the process could feel quicker overall and you’ll be less aware of the treatment itself.

3. Aftercare

We are committed to dental excellence – so your dental care doesn’t end when we put down our tools. We can provide aftercare advice on how to take care of your mouth, teeth and gums following your procedure.

Why have Dental Sedation?

We recognise and appreciate that dental phobia or a fear of the dentist is a very common anxiety which many patients experience. Dental anxiety is a serious issue because it can prevent you from getting the treatment you need. It often leads to more severe dental problems, which can cause infection and tooth loss.

Dental Smiles Chelmsford takes pride in being the ideal clinic for nervous patients as we can help you to feel comfortable and calm during our dental treatments. Our specialist anaesthetists can provide conscious sedation, so while you’ll be wakeful during any procedures, it can help ease dental fears and allows you to relax during your treatment. 

Types of Dental Sedation

Unlike general anaesthesia, you will still be conscious throughout your treatment and respond to your dentist’s commands. You are monitored throughout the treatment to ensure your safety. There are different types of dental sedation available, at Dental Smiles Chelmsford we offer :

  • Intravenous sedation (this is a private treatment)

Benefits of Dental Sedation

While dental sedation allows patients with dental phobias to relax, there are also several other benefits, including:

  • Allowing patients to complete complex dental treatments in fewer visits

  • Helping to control involuntary muscle movements in patients with conditions such as Parkinson’s diseases

  • Controlling a sensitive gag reflex
