Lay your dental fears to rest
What is sleep dentistry?
Sleep dentistry enables dentally anxious patients to undergo dental treatment while in the deepest state of relaxation.
Some of us can be very apprehensive about visiting the dentist. Dental phobia is extremely common, but with sleep dentistry it no longer needs to be a barrier to healthy teeth and gums.
The sleep dentistry technique is ideal for patients with a strong dental phobia who need prolonged procedures such as treatment of multiple teeth in different locations within the mouth.
What is the procedure for sleep dentistry?
Sleep dentistry involves the administration of a general anaesthesia to place patients in a deep sleep-like state. This allows for completion of dental treatment without the patient feeling anxious or concerned during the procedure.
General anaesthesia is provided by a board-registered Specialist Anaesthetist who is responsible for providing the appropriate medications and monitoring during the procedure, in addition to bringing the patient back to a wakeful state at the end of treatment. General anaesthesia involves close monitoring of vital signs and protection of the airway by the Specialist Anaesthetist and registered nurse, meaning that patients receive optimal care throughout the procedure.
