Sedation Hanwell
While many people feel comfortable at the dentist, it’s very common for children and adults to experience anxiety before or during dental treatment. To help make your visit more relaxed and comfortable, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and IV sedation.
Nitrous oxide is a safe blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide administered through a small mask worn over the nose. It helps patients feel calm and at ease during treatment and wears off quickly once the mask is removed, with no lingering effects.
For patients with higher levels of anxiety or more complex procedures, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. It is carefully administered and monitored by our dental team, allowing treatment to be completed comfortably while you remain responsive.
Our team is happy to discuss which sedation option is best for you or your child and answer any questions you may have.
