Sedation in Ramsden OX7 is available for patients who are nervous about receiving dental treatment. Your dental team will understand that treatment can be scary for some people, and will do their best to ensure your comfort.
It’s administered by injection, usually in the arm or back of the hand. The specific dose varies depending on the length and type of treatment being carried out.
Once you’ve had the injection, you will feel drowsy and at ease. You won’t be aware of the treatment as your jaw, tongue, and facial muscles are completely relaxed. Therefore your dentist will be able to work smoothly and provide you with exceptional care.
Your dentist will let you know how long it takes to wear off. You will be unable to drive, work machinery, and drink alcohol until then. Most patients remember little of their appointment by the next day.
A possible alternative to injection is 'relative analgesia'. It’s a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen that provides a pleasant and relaxed feeling once inhaled. Although still conscious, you will feel drowsy and comfortable during your treatment. There are no side effects, and you will be able to drive about fifteen or twenty minutes afterwards. This safe and effective option is used by many dentists.
Talk to your dentist about which method is best for you. Your dentist can determine your suitability for either method. You will also have to let your dental team know about about any medication you may be taking.
Your dentist will discuss the cost with you and provide you with a written estimate before you start your treatment.
