Patients & Pain Free Dentistry W1
Welcome to the pain-free dentistry section at 76 Harley Street in
London's W1 district. Our state of the art clinic offers a senerity
within the busy city to feel relaxed and comfortable whilst visiting
your dentist.
Nervous Patients
It's quite common to be anxious about dental treatment, especially
if you've had an unpleasant experience at the dentists in the past. But
dentistry does not have to be uncomfortable or painful. In recent years
modern dentistry has changed for the better - and treatment can now be
completed in a comfortable and even pleasant way.
Our Harley Street team of dentists does everything we can so that
our patients are not anxious or in any pain. We take our time to be
gentle and considerate and also try to find out what particular aspect
of dentistry a patient finds stressful.
There are also some tools that make it easier to wean you back into
regular dentistry and to allow you to have whatever treatment you to
put you in a place where your trips to the dentist are merely routine
check-ups.
Local Anaesthetic For Pain-Free Dentistry
Effectice
'local anaesthesia' (by injection) is always given to numb the teeth
when there is any chance at all that treatment might be unformfortable.
A topical anaesthetic gel is applied to the first gum before so that
the surface of the gum is already numb, making the injection pain-free
as well.
Sedation For Nervous Dental Patients
Sedation can be given either intravenously by injection or by inhalation.
Intravenous Sedation
Intravenous
sedation makes you sleepy, relaxed and unaware of most of the treatment
while it is being carried out. This is not the same as a general
anaesthetic. The technique is very safe and you maintain all your
safety reflexes, such as your 'cough reflex'. Patients often feel that
they have been asleep during the treatment, but in fact you are still
awake so we can communicate with you if necessary.
Please note that you have to have someone escort you home after intravenous sedation: this ensures your safety.
Inhalation Sedation
Inhalation
sedation gives a lighter
effect, but also makes you relaxed and comfortable during treatment.
Our children's dental specialist Dr Joanna Johnson (paediatric dentist)
often uses this with children, nervous or otherwise.
