<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhile this can cause a minor irritation for many\ndental patients, if you are either nervous or phobic of the dentist, this can\nknock you off your feet. You know that dental hygiene is important and of\ncourse, you want to be a good dental patient and attend check-ups regularly,\nbut the idea sends you into a cold sweat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, nervous dental patients of the world, you\u2019re\nin luck! Many dental surgeries are now much better equipped to deal with phobic\npatients and the days of the judgemental dentist are long gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nyou visit Dr. David Magruga, we will endeavour to make you feel as comfortable\nas possible. All of our nervous\npatients in Marylebone<\/a> are treated with dignity, respect and kindness, to\nensure that you have a more pleasant appointment with our team.We take dental\nfears and phobias very seriously, and will allow you to set the pace of the\nappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, how do we ensure that our nervous patients in Marylebone<\/strong> don\u2019t become overwhelmed?\nRead on to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What is conscious sedation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the techniques we use for our nervous patients in Marylebone<\/strong> is called conscious sedation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different to being put under anaesthetic, you\nwill remain conscious but, under the effects of the sedative, you will feel\nmore relaxed and will not be able to feel any discomfort. Typically, there are\nthree kinds of sedation used in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first is inhaled and is known as laughing gas\n(nitrous oxide). The second is an oral tablet, such as temazepam and the third\nis administered via an intravenous drip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How will I feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As briefly stated earlier, any sedative we\nprovide you with will make you feel sleepy and relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the dental procedure, you will be able to\nrespond to the instructions of the dental team, but once the procedure is\ncomplete and the sedatives begin to wear off, you will often have no\nrecollection of what you have been through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, in a similar vein, under the effects\nof any sedative, discomfort from certain procedures (such as extraction) are\ndulled, and so, if you have undertaken an extraction or any other oral surgery,\nit is likely that you may feel some soreness in your mouth once you get home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What happens afterwards?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you come to us for sedation dentistry, we\nwill always advise that you bring along an age-appropriate, responsible friend\nor family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is for two reasons; the first is to ensure\nthat you make it home safely and don\u2019t have to operate a car. Secondly, it is to make sure that you have\nsomeone looking after you and in the unlikely event that you become ill, you\nhave someone with you who can seek appropriate medical attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We also advise against operating heavy machinery,\nlike a car, for up to forty-eight hours after intravenous sedation for safety\nreasons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It can feel like a heart stopping moment; you go to collect the mail only to find a dental check-up reminder amongst the letters.
