If you've ever dreamed of sleeping during a dental procedure, we can offer you the perfect solution. At Victoria Clinic, we offer the entire dental treatment under inhalation sedation-also known as “laughing gas”- or under intravenous sedation.
Nitrous oxide sedation or "laughing gas" is used in dentistry to help children reduce their fear of simple dental procedures. It involves putting a soft rubber mask over the nose through which they breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, also known as "laughing gas". After a few minutes, a child should begin to feel more relaxed and reassured, allowing the dentist to carry out the necessary treatment. At the end of the procedure, the gas mixture is fully exhaled from the body, so there are no lasting effects, however, some children may feel tired or sleepy immediately after the procedure.
Following few sedation procedures, children become very brave and, form a positive and trusting relationship with the dentist, therefore they easily accept the procedures associated with the treatment. This positive effect is achieved by the gradually reducing sedation time at each visit
This type of anaesthesia is available for children aged 12+ and adults only. The intravenous sedation technique in dentistry is recommended to help you relax if you have dental problems or need more complex dental procedures. A dentist or an anaesthesiologist trained in sedation will administer intravenous sedatives to help you feel at ease at the beginning of your dental visit. It is a safe technique widely used in dentistry in general dental practice to avoid the need for general anaesthesia.
At Victoria clinic, we provide light and moderate level (advanced) sedation so you will still be able to talk and respond to instructions during your treatment, whilst feeling calm so your dentist can perform treatment without any difficulty. Sedation also acts as a strong amnesic, so most people forget about the majority of the dental procedure.
