A dental phobia or dental anxiety prevent people receiving the necessary dental work required to maintain healthy teeth and gums. An experienced dentist can administer the right sedative to help you relax before and during a dental procedure.

Key takeaways:

• An experienced dentist can advise you on the different sedation available, from minimal sedation for mild anxiety through to a general anesthesia.
• Whatever the dental procedure, both adults and children can have access to sedation to help alleviate dental anxiety.
• With the exception of laughing gas, you will not be able to drive immediately after sedation and should take the rest of the day off work to allow for the effects of sedation to wear off.

"Whether you need a teeth cleaning, a root canal, a tooth extraction, or a cosmetic dentistry procedure, you can choose to have sedation dentistry with an experienced dentist to help alleviate your dental anxiety."
