Sedation for your Anxiety

Before treatment, we review your medical history and discuss whether inhalation sedation is appropriate. During your appointment, the level of sedation is carefully adjusted while you remain monitored by the clinical team.

The cost depends on appointment length and the treatment being completed. Sedation fees are discussed clearly before your appointment.

Side effects can include temporary nausea, dizziness or other reactions. Inhalation sedation is not suitable for every patient. Alternatives may include local anaesthetic alone, behavioural support, staged appointments or another form of sedation.

FAQs:

How quickly does it wear off? The effects generally reduce quickly after administration stops.

Can nervous patients benefit? It may be suitable for appropriate patients following assessment.
