In fact, it’s estimated that up to 50% of people who never visit the dentist stay away because of their fears and anxieties, so you’re definitely not alone!
At North Hill Dental we have been trained to be sensitive to your concerns and use special calming techniques to make sure you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
One of the ways we can help our more anxious patients is by offering them IV sedation which uses a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. It’s non-allergenic and non-irritating and because you breathe it in through a special nasal hood, it’s ideal if you are severely nervous or gag easily. It’s short acting and there are no after effects so you can carry on with your day as normal almost immediately.
IV sedation is a very light level of sedation that is odourless and incredibly effective at relieving anxiety. You simply inhale the gas mixture through a mask and within two or three minutes you will feel an overall body euphoria.
