Common reasons behind dental phobia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental phobia is natural and as long as it\nhasn\u2019t reached the stage where medical help is required, it can be easily\nconquered. What makes some of us more afraid of dental visits than others are\nfear of pain, loss of control, and past experiences gone sour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are afraid of the dentist are\nmore likely to have many dental problems, which can lead to serious oral health\nissues. Fear and avoidance of the dentist are also triggered by pain. Luckily, sedation dentistry in Edinburgh<\/strong> can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sedation dentistry employs medication to\nhelp patients relax and remain calm during various dental procedures. Also\nknown as \u2018sleep dentistry\u2019, sedation dentistry is safe, effective and painless.\nPatients will feel comfortable in the dentist\u2019s chair and will even be able to\ncommunicate with the dentist throughout the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Craigentinny<\/strong>,\nwe offer different types of sedation\ndentistry in Edinburgh to our patients. Depending on the dose provided\nby our dentists, sedation can be minimal or moderate. Sedative medications can\neither be taken through the mouth (oral sedation) or through a vein (IV\nsedation). IV sedation, in particular, allows our dentists to adjust the intensity\nof the sedation throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the type of sedation you\nreceive, we also provide local anaesthetic at the site of the mouth where the\ndentist will work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
