Nervous Patients
Nervous Patients in Ipswich, Suffolk.
At our clinic, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a daunting experience, especially for those who have had negative encounters in the past.
That’s why we offer gentle and compassionate care tailored specifically for nervous patients.
Conscious sedation
For patients who feel anxious or fearful about dental procedures, we offer conscious sedation. This involves the use of carefully selected medications to induce relaxation and block pain sensations.
During conscious sedation, an intravenous line is gently inserted into your arm or hand. Through this line, a sedative is administered to help you feel calm and comfortable.
As the sedative takes effect, you will begin to feel drowsy and deeply relaxed. While you may drift off to sleep, you’ll remain easily rousable and able to communicate with our dental team throughout the procedure. This open line of communication ensures that you feel supported and in control at all times.
After the procedure, you may feel drowsy and have little recollection of the treatment. This allows our nervous patients to undergo necessary dental procedures without the anxiety of remembering the details. Instead, they leave our clinic feeling positive, accomplished, and with a renewed sense of confidence in their dental care.
