Brigstock Dental is a centre of excellence for those looking for a sedation dentist, sedation dentistry, IV (intravenous) sedation, or a dental-phobic certified dentist. Whether you have a fear of dentist needles, rotten teeth, a dental phobia or need IV sedation for wisdom teeth extraction, we are one of the UK’s leading clinics. We are one of the only clinics in London able to perform specialist root canal treatment under intravenous sedation.
Many people are worried and anxious when they think about having dental treatment. This can stem from many things, the main ones being:
Dental sedation may be the solution to all of your worries.
Sedation is when a powerful sedative is administered that helps you relax and calms you down. It’s so powerful that you are pretty much asleep during the procedure, and you don’t care what’s going on around you. It’s not like general anaesthesia, where you are fully unconscious. You are still able to speak and listen to commands. This is much better as it is a lot safer, quicker and easier to perform. Once the procedure is over, we stop administering the drug, and you regain consciousness.
The drugs work very quickly, almost instantly and wear off slowly over a period of around 30 minutes. We can see you getting more and more awake, so you never just suddenly wake up. If we feel you need more, it’s easy to top you up, and the best thing about the treatment is that you won’t remember a thing. So you will just think you came in and went home!
We use Midazolam, which is a short-acting Benzodiazepine. It comes from the same family as diazepam and valium.
It is administered through a vein, usually in your arm.
No, it’s not like alcohol. The effects wear off pretty quickly.
Benzodiazepines are widely used drugs and have been around for a very long time. They are very safe, and adverse reactions are extremely rare. Your dentist will ensure you do not have any medical contraindications before prescribing it to you.
You will need someone to pick you up after the procedure and look after you. You will probably feel sleepy, and we recommend that you do not drive for 24 hours after the procedure. This also includes operating any heavy machinery, making important financial decisions and anything that is deemed dangerous.
