Pain-Free Dentistry Is Here

Long gone are days of staggering away from the dentist chair vowing never to return.  There was no fun in leaving the dentist in more pain than when you entered.  The irony of lollipop did not offer much comfort either.

Fortunately, that scenario is a thing of the past.  Now, techniques, technologies and materials have all progressed and have taken us to where we are now.  The era of Pain Free Dentistry.

As well as Local Anaesthetic and Nitrous Oxide options that are effective enough against 80% of our treatments, we are also able to use ‘Conscious Sedation’.  Conscious Sedation essentially means you go to ‘sleep’ whilst still being awake. This is a safe technique and throughout the procedure you are constantly monitored.

Better than anaesthetic is that we now utilise lasers in a great number of treatments. Lasers may be used in a number of oral treatments, including

• The removal of decay
• Fluoride Treatment
• Root Canal Sterilisation
• Gum Disease Treatments
• Tooth Whitening
• Surgical Procedures

Lasers may also be utilised to sterilise teeth, increasing patient comfort.  In addition, its general benefits are that bleeding may be reduced, swelling may be controlled and postoperative discomfort may be limited.

So if you are worried about visiting the dentist you probably shouldn’t.  We’ve removed pain out of the situation.
