Effective & Painless Treatment for Nervous Patients in Petersham
• • •
Many of you can become fearful about visiting the dentist, often because of a bad experience, phobia of needles or pain. Some people may also be concerned about being judged for the condition of their teeth. Many people will put off going to the dentist for these reasons, which could be detrimental to their dental health in the long run.
Caring Treatment for Anxious Patients
Dental anxiety is common, so at Petersham Dental Practice, we have treatment options to help you manage your anxiety and stay on top of your dental hygiene. Our dentists take your concerns seriously and are never judgemental, so you have nothing to fear. We offer laughing gas (happy gas) for nervous or anxious patients to help you relax and increase your pain threshold during your visit.
What is the Procedure for Nervous Patients?
Our caring dentists will talk you through your requirements to put you at ease. We will then administer the laughing gas, a blend of two gases, through a mask placed over your nose for you to breathe in. This gas is fast-acting (within 3-5 minutes) and wears off quickly when the gas is stopped, allowing you to get back to your daily activities with minimal interference.
Is Laughing Gas Safe?
Yes, laughing gas is safe and can be adjusted to your comfort level. You'll remain fully conscious throughout your appointment and will not feel any pain. If you or your child are still feeling nervous about visiting, contact our friendly team to learn more about how we can help you.
