What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients feel more relaxed during dental treatments. It’s particularly beneficial for those who experience:

  • Dental anxiety or phobia
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth or gums
  • Difficulty sitting still for long periods
  • A strong gag reflex
  • Complex dental procedures requiring longer appointments

At Glandwr Dental Practice, we offer conscious sedation, which helps you feel calm and drowsy while remaining awake and responsive throughout your treatment.

How Does Sedation Work?

Our sedation option involves a small dose of sedative medication taken before your appointment. This method induces a sense of calm and relaxation while keeping you conscious and able to communicate with our team. Many patients report feeling as though their treatment passes by quickly, with little memory of the procedure itself.

Before your appointment, we’ll conduct a full assessment of your medical history and discuss whether sedation is the right option for you.
