Conscious sedation is a form of anxiety control which makes treatment
more pleasant for the patient. It is effective, predictable and very
safe and is the modern alternative to general anaesthesia for most dental
procedures. Where general anaesthesia was used in the past, progressive
dentists now use conscious sedation.
Conscious sedation can be given in a number of ways. Intravenous sedation
is the most commonly used form in adults. Your dental surgeon will advise
you if an other techniques are appropriate.
Conscious sedation will make you feel sleepy and relaxed. Most patients
can remember little or nothing of the procedure, but it does not affect
any part of your memory before the drug is given.
Bath Spa Dentistry offer conscious sedation by a specially trained dentist
(please refer to our price list for details of the cost of this procedure)
