Nervous Patients
Dental Sedation
Many people are scared of dental treatments and we understand that, so our aim at The Courtyard Clinic is to get you treated in the most comfortable way, get you trusting your dentist again and take the edge the more complicated dental procedures.
Dental sedation is where we use a sedative medicine administered to your body to relax you, it switches off anxiety receptors in the brain so you are calm and sleepy. Time passes incredibly quickly so long appointments may feel like a couple of minutes! There is an amnesic affect so you may not remember treatment at all.

What treatments can we use dental sedation for?
We use dental sedation for all procedures. Some people even have their initial exam and cleaning under sedation to get them used to sitting in the dental chair again!
