At Craigentinny\nDental<\/strong>, we know how daunting it can be to attend a check-up when you have a\nfear of the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, those who suffered from dental\nphobias were subjected to ridicule from dental professionals, making the entire\nprocess more unpleasant and adding to the fear. Today, this practice has long\nsince been abolished, in favour of offering those with a dental phobia a more\nwarm and welcoming environment, free from judgement and lecturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nCraigentinny<\/strong>, our team is proud of\nthe services we can offer to those who suffer from dental phobia. Everything\nfrom E-Courses to sedation dentistry\nin Edinburgh,<\/a>\nour team has worked hard to cover all bases to ensure that you overcome your\nfear with as much help and support as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of our\nsedation dentistry in Edinburgh<\/strong> and how\nwe can work with you to become more desensitised to sitting in the dental\nchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is dental sedation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Craigentinny<\/strong>,\nwe are aware that not everyone who is scared of the dentist can be consoled by\nsimply talking to a member of our dental team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our patients suffer from a very severe\nphobia of visiting our practice, so we are always able to offer sedation dentistry in Edinburgh<\/strong> to those who\nneed it. Administered through a drip in the arm (intravenously), our team will\nsedate you before any treatment begins on your teeth and once the procedure is\ncompleted, you will be taken to a side room to recuperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must advise that you bring someone responsible\nand age appropriate with you for this procedure and that you do not operate\nheavy machinery for 24 hours afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the obvious benefit of intravenous\nsedatives is that they relax you and allow our team to perform check-ups and\nprocedures without causing you distress. But what are the other benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No memory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental phobias are typically based on a negative\nexperience; maybe you had a poor dentist as a child who didn’t listen to you\nwhen you told them to be more gentle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the key benefits of our sedative\ntreatments is that afterward, you will have no memory of the procedure. Even if\nyou have had 3 teeth extracted and a root canal, you will not remember any of\nit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of our phobic patients agree that a minor\ninjection in the arm is less invasive than being wide awake while a dentist\nexamines your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedatives allow our team to examine your mouth\nwith ease, without causing you to feel invaded or violated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, when you have a filling or extraction,\nthere are lots of needles to help numb your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With sedatives, there is no need for any\nadditional needles and when you are so relaxed, you will feel no pain. When you\nare fully conscious, if there is discomfort, you will not associate it with\ndentistry and will, in time, feel more comfortable about attending our dental\nsurgery for treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
