Our Sedation Treatment In Tonbridge

If the thought of visiting the dentist fills you with anxiety, you’re not alone. Many patients feel nervous or fearful before a dental procedure, which can sometimes lead them to delay or avoid essential treatment altogether. At Andrew House Dental Practice in Tonbridge, we offer sedation treatment to help you feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident during your visit.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation is a safe and effective method of calming dental patients by administering a small amount of sedative before treatment begins. It’s widely used in both hospitals and dental settings to ease anxiety and create a more comfortable experience.

With this form of conscious sedation, you remain fully awake throughout the procedure, but you’ll feel extremely calm and relaxed and often have very little memory of the treatment afterwards. The effects of the sedation wear off quickly, which means you’ll be able to head home shortly after your appointment.

Safety & Supervision

Your safety is always our top priority. During the entire procedure, a highly trained dentist and nurse will closely monitor you to ensure everything goes smoothly. Our team has extensive experience with sedation treatments and will be with you every step of the way to offer reassurance and support.

Important Considerations

While sedation is very effective, there are a few things you need to plan for. Because the sedative can linger in your system for up to eight hours, you won’t be able to drive yourself home. We recommend having a trusted friend or family member escort you to and from your appointment and stay with you for a couple of hours afterwards.

Before your treatment, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed medical questionnaire. This helps us determine whether sedation is suitable for you. In some cases, such as for children under 16 or certain medical conditions, sedation may not be recommended. If that’s the case, your dentist will thoroughly explain your options.
