Sedation for nervous patients
Quick answer
Do you offer sedation for nervous patients?
Yes, where it is clinically appropriate.
York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet sees anxious patients every week. Tell us when you book. We can slow the appointment, explain each step, and discuss sedation for longer surgical visits such as extractions or implants. Suitability depends on your medical history — we will not recommend it if a calmer, stepwise visit is safer.
What you need to know
A first appointment can be a conversation and a look around, with no treatment. You stay in control of the pace. Several of our dentists, including have a particular interest in helping phobic patients.
Sedation is not a personality test you have failed. It is a tool for specific visits. Local anaesthetic still does the pain control; sedation takes the edge off awareness and memory of the procedure.
Read nervous patients and sedation. If the fear is an extraction, also see tooth extractions.
