Sedation for nervous patients
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 Dr Marta Amin, 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.
