Calm Conscious Sedation

Dr Megan McCann provides general dentistry with the help of IV sedation for patients to help with dental phobia and anxiety. Megan prides herself on having a caring and open approach to her patients. 

Feel relaxed and worry free. Our trained and extremely understanding, conscientious staff will listen to your particular worries and concerns. We understand that some patients are apprehensive about attending the dental practice. The very thought of treatment worries them. Fear of the unknown and past experiences can be immensely strong deterrents to having dental treatment.

Conscious sedation very gently relaxes anxious feelings to give you a more pleasant experience. It provides a calming twilight sleep making you drowsy and relaxed. The dentist is always able to speak to you.

People of all ages and backgrounds are affected by dental anxiety. Most people can be treated with TLC and they are able to have dental procedures carried out as usual. However for some their anxiety prevents them from having essential dental treatment carried out.

Dental Sedation allows an anxious patient to be sedated just enough to be pain-free and unaware of the treatment being carried out.  Dental sedation is a safe and reliable method of providing dental treatment and care to patients who would not otherwise be able to have treatment.

We can offer adult patients who are anxious about dental treatment the opportunity to have their treatment carried out under intravenous sedation. This involves an injection into the arm or back of the hand of a drug known as midazolam which relaxes the patient into their position where they are relaxed enough to allow dental treatment to be undertaken.

Once the patient is relaxed the areas involved are numbed with local anaesthetic and dental treatment is carried out. Another advantage of midozalam sedation is that most patients do not tend to remember much about the dental treatment that they have just had.
