Dental sedation

You may be so frightened of the dentist that you choose not to go for dental treatment, even when you really need to. But at swiss smile you can overcome your fears with relaxation or sedation. Our dentists are very understanding about your feelings, and they do all they can to make you feel calmer. The entire swiss smile experience has been created with this in mind, and we offer various techniques to help your treatment pass with as little stress as possible.

At swiss smile we sometimes recommend intravenous or IV sedation. This is given by injection, either in the back of your hand or in your arm. The dose will depend on the amount of treatment you need, and how long it will take to complete.

The injection you get from the anaesthetist will make you feel drowsy and unaware of any treatment that is going on, but you will still be able to cooperate with the dentist. We will tell you how long the drugs will take to clear from your body. You won’t be able to drink alcohol, drive or operate machinery during this time.
