Sedation Dental Phobia | Dental Concepts - Andover, Whitchurch, Sandbanks & Southampton

How does relaxation work?

When we are faced with a challenge or something we’re afraid of, such as a visit to the dentist, our bodies produce substances, which raise our anxiety. However, we can train our bodies to work against this anxiety, by learning to relax. It’s not possible to be anxious and relaxed at the same time, so learning relaxation helps control our anxiety.

What is sedation?

We offer an intravenous or IV sedation. This is given by injection, either in the back of your hand or in your arm. The dose will depend on the amount of treatment needed and the length of time it will take to complete.

How will IV sedation in the surgery affect me?

You become drowsy and unaware of any treatment, but you are still able to cooperate with the dentist. The effects of sedative medicine take some time to wear off and your dentist will tell you how long the drugs will take to clear from your body. You won’t be able to drink alcohol, drive or work machinery during this time.

How we support our nervous patients ?

Being fearful or being phobic of the dentist is actually fairly common, but at Dental Concepts we’re incredibly proud to support our previously nervous patients, who are much less fearful after visiting us.

Here are just some of the ways we support our nervous patients to reduce dental phobia:

We have a dedicated team of Treatment Coordinators who you can speak with throughout your journey, outside of the dental practice.
We offer a complimentary virtual consultation to let you get a feel for Dental Concepts before visiting the practice.
We put you in control of your treatment, simply put your hand up at any point and we will pause what we are doing. Knowing that you’re in control can put your mind at ease.
Feel safe in the knowledge that you will have local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort at any time of sensitive dental treatment.
