Sedation can help suitable patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment and can make it easier to complete treatment that might otherwise be difficult to tolerate.

At Maypark Dental, our aim is to make your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible while providing appropriate care for your individual circumstances.

Dental anxiety is extremely common. Some people feel nervous about the dentist but can manage with reassurance and a supportive team. For others, the fear can be so strong that they avoid dental appointments altogether.

• The sound or sensation of dental instruments
• Needles or injections
• Having your mouth open for a long time
• The thought of having a tooth removed
• A strong gag reflex
• Previous unpleasant dental experiences
• Losing control during treatment
• Longer or more complex dental procedures

Dental sedation uses medication to help you relax during dental treatment. Depending on your individual needs, medical history and the treatment being carried out, different sedation approaches may be considered. Sedation does not necessarily mean that you are unconscious. Depending on the technique used, you may remain awake and able to communicate with the dental team while feeling considerably more relaxed. Before treatment, you will have an assessment to determine whether sedation is appropriate for you and which approach is most suitable.

Our team will consider your medical history, medications, dental treatment and previous experiences before proceeding.

Sedation isn't just for major dental procedures. At Maypark Dental, we can provide sedation for arange of routine and complex dental treatments.

Regular professional teeth cleaning is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. However, some patients find dental hygiene appointments particularly difficult because of anxiety, sensitivity, a strong gag reflex, or previous experiences. For suitable patients, sedation can help make a cleaning appointment much easier to tolerate. If dental anxiety has caused you to avoid your regular dental hygiene appointments, talk to us about whether sedation could be an option.

A dental filling is a routine procedure, but that doesn't mean every patient finds it easy. If you are nervous about injections, drilling or dental treatment generally, sedation may help you feel calmer during the procedure.
Treating tooth decay at an early stage can help prevent the problem from progressing and potentially requiring more extensive treatment. If fear of the dentist has stopped you from having a filling, our team can discuss your options with you.

Root canal treatment is often used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. Because root canal treatment can involve a longer appointment, it may be particularly challenging for patients with dental anxiety. For suitable patients, sedation can help make the experience more manageable, allowing you to receive the treatment required while feeling more relaxed. Our dentist will assess your tooth and discuss the treatment and sedation options available to you.

The thought of having a tooth removed can be particularly worrying for nervous patients. If you need a tooth extraction and are concerned about the procedure, sedation may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
Before your extraction, we will assess your dental and medical circumstances and explain what you can expect. Our goal is to make the experience as straightforward and comfortable as possible.

Wisdom tooth removal can be a source of considerable anxiety, particularly if you have had difficult dental experiences in the past. Depending on your circumstances, wisdom tooth extraction can be carried out with appropriate sedation to help you remain relaxed during treatment. We will assess your wisdom tooth, discuss the complexity of the extraction and determine whether sedation is suitable for you.

Dental implants can provide a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. However, some patients who could benefit from dental implants delay treatment because they are anxious about dental procedures. For suitable patients, sedation can help make dental implant treatment a more comfortable experience. Whether you need to replace one missing tooth or require a more extensive implant treatment plan, we can discuss your concerns and explore whether sedation could be incorporated into your treatment.

One of the key features of the sedation service at Maypark Dental is our access to a medical specialist doctor who can help manage patients who may be difficult to treat with routine dental sedation. Some patients require more than the standard approach to sedation.
You may have:
• Previously struggled to tolerate dental treatment
• Had an unsuccessful experience with sedation
• Severe dental anxiety
• Difficulty cooperating with dental treatment
• A particularly strong gag reflex
• Complex medical considerations
• A need for more extensive dental treatment
If another dentist has told you that sedation may not be suitable, this does not necessarily mean there are no options available. Our team can assess your individual circumstances and, where appropriate, involve our medical specialist doctor in planning and managing your treatment. Every patient is assessed individually, and sedation is only provided when it is considered appropriate.

Some patients have spent years avoiding dental treatment because conventional approaches have not worked for them.They may have been told that they are "too nervous", unable to tolerate treatment, or unsuitable for the sedation available at another dental practice. At Maypark Dental, we understand that every patient is different. Our access to specialist medical expertise means that we can consider patients who may require a higher level of medical assessment and support. This can be particularly important for patients who have previously had difficulty undergoing dental treatment. If you have been told that you are difficult to treat, talk to us. We can assess your circumstances and explain what options may be available.

Dental sedation may be considered for patients who:
Have dental anxiety
If fear of the dentist prevents you from attending appointments or receiving necessary treatment, sedation may help.
Have had a negative dental experience
A previous painful or traumatic dental experience can make future dental visits extremely difficult. We can take the time to understand your concerns.
Have a strong gag reflex
A strong gag reflex can make certain dental procedures particularly challenging. Sedation may help suitable patients tolerate treatment more comfortably.
Need extensive dental treatment
If you require several procedures or a longer appointment, sedation may make the experience easier to manage.
Have avoided the dentist for years
If you have been putting off dental care because of anxiety, you are not alone. We can discuss your
concerns without judgement and help you understand your options.
Have previously struggled with sedation
If conventional sedation has not worked well for you in the past, tell us about your experience. Our specialist medical support means we can assess more complex cases

Your first step is a consultation.
We will take the time to understand your concerns and discuss the dental treatment you need.
1. We listen to your concerns
Tell us what makes you anxious or what you have found difficult about dental treatment in the past.
2. We review your medical history
Your health, medications and previous experiences with sedation are important when assessing whether sedation is appropriate.
3. We assess your dental treatment
We will explain the treatment you need and consider how sedation could fit into your treatment plan.
4. We discuss your sedation options
If sedation is appropriate, we will explain the proposed approach and answer your questions.
5. We plan your treatment
Once we have established the most appropriate approach, we can arrange your dental treatment and provide you with instructions for before and after your appointment.

Sedation can be an effective way of helping suitable patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. However, sedation is a medical procedure and is not suitable for everyone. Your suitability will depend on factors including your medical history, medications, the type of dental treatment required and the sedation technique being considered. Before treatment, you will receive an appropriate assessment. Your vital signs and condition will be monitored as required during sedation, and you will receive aftercare instructions. For patients with more complex needs, our access to a medical specialist doctor provides an additional level of medical expertise.
Patient safety always comes first. 

This means you don't necessarily need to endure severe anxiety simply because the treatment you require is considered "routine".

If dental anxiety is preventing you from getting the dental care you need, talk to our team.
