Sleep Dentistry

There are four types of sedation dentistry methods available at our city dentist Melbourne clinic.

Penthrox is a hand-held device commonly used in ambulances for immediate pain relief. It’s a simple sedation form used by our Melbourne dentists to bring fear under control and relieve anxiety. Nowadays, dentistry practices widely use them.

Penthrox inhalation provides substantial pain relief and decreases the anxiety level. The patient is in complete control of the Penthrox device, therefore feeling more comfortable. Penthrox is safe and effective in most situations to bring your anxiety level down.

Nitrous Oxide is a short-acting but very effective way to bring on a feeling of well-being and let your feelings of anxiety dissolve away. Nitrous Oxide, when inhaled, is one of the simplest and easiest agents for easing anxiety.

The Melbourne dentist has safely used them for several years now. It is appropriate for adults and children because it is easy to control the dose. Its effects are tapered off right after dental work is done with no hangover feeling afterwards.

Oral Sedation, Another widely used sedative is the piled form medication you take before a procedure. The pills are also proven safe and effective oral sedation method. It gives you a feeling of peace and tranquillity, and later, you might have a hazy recollection of what took place.

Melbourne city dentist will use oral sedation for most longer or complicated treatments. It can also help you get through general dental work like exams and teeth cleaning because the medication is taken orally as tablets. It is perfect for people who don’t like needles.
