We know that many patients can be nervous of visiting the dentist, often caused by a bad experience in childhood. At Marsh Lane Dental we have lots of experience of working with nervous patients and will do everything possible to support you through your treatment.
We regularly treat anxious patients and understand dental phobia is very common.
Whatever your dental fears or concerns, we are here to help and will do all we can to make you feel calmer and more relaxed during your treatment. Going at your pace and explaining the treatment, we will ensure that you are able to attend appointments with minimum anxiety.
Intravenous sedation uses a medicine called Midazolam which is injected into the bloodstream through a painless cannula (temporary attached tube).
Midazolam provides a deep sense of relaxation and calm for many hours, but is not a general anaesthetic.
A fear of the dentist often delays treatment which in turn can worsen oral health if left too long.
The first step is to talk to someone who can help. We would be happy call you on your own terms, for a free consultation about your options. Whether it’s dental sedation or stress relieving mechanisms, we can advise on the right path for you.
