Sedation And Dental Phobia For Patients In The City Of Liverpool

Monday, April 8th, 2013

No one really enjoys visiting the dentist. But for some people, the fear is genuine and can bring out a large amount of terror at the mere thought of stepping into a clinic. This has been diagnosed as dental phobia and can in some cases be a very frightening experience. Anxiety attacks are common and the fear is brought on either by the fear of the dentist or work done at the dentist that involves needles and pain.

The fear of the dentist is now well recognized and something can actually be done about it. If you have dental phobia, you’re more than likely ignoring any toothache you have until it becomes a major problem. Decay is hard to detect without frequent visits to the dentist, you might be causing yourself more trouble because you could have had earlier, less invasive treatment.

Helping with dental phobia

Liverpool Dental Spa now offers sedation to particularly anxious patients to help them relax before a procedure. This is a small injection that won’t knock you out but will help you relax enough so that the dentist can carry out the procedure. It removes all the worries and pain before the treatment takes place so that you can stop fretting and allow the dentist to fix your teeth. You’ll still be able to breathe and talk on your own but you’ll notice that you feel much more relaxed and you won’t suffer any anxiety attacks associated with dental phobia.

Once you have had the procedure, you will need someone to take you home because although sedation doesn’t make you unconscious, it can make you feel woozy and distort your inhibitions. However, this will wear off in a couple of hours and you can leave the dentist happy for the first time, following a successful treatment.

Monday, December 17th, 2012

There are a number of reasons that might require you to get your tooth extracted. These reasons can be a problem wisdom tooth, tooth decay and the need for orthodontic spacing. The extractions of tooth are undertaken while the patient is sedated or is under the influence of local anaesthesia. This means the patient will not feel any pain during the procedure. Once the tooth has been taken out, the patient will be required to take certain precautionary steps to prevent the development of any infection.

After surgery care

People who get their tooth extracted should not eat hot food during the next 24 hours. Avoiding smoking and alcohol will also help. The patient should not try to move any clots that could have occurred within the gap. Rinsing the mouth should also be avoided during the first 24 hours, after which you can use a glass of warm salty water to gently rinse your mouth. After this you may maintain your regular oral hygiene on the unaffected areas of the mouth. Do not be alarmed in case you find small pieces of bone within the socket. This is absolutely normal. While pain killers can give you relief from pain, do not let the tablet to touch the area where the tooth has been extracted. If the pain is persistent even after few days have passed since the surgery, visit the dentist.
