Is your fear of dental treatment holding you back from visiting the dentist? If so, you're not alone. It's common for people to feel anxious about dental treatments. However, avoiding dental treatments can lead to serious dental problems if left untreated. The good news is there is a solution - sleep dentistry. With sleep dentistry, you won't feel any pain or discomfort, and you can finally overcome your dental anxiety and receive the dental care you need without the stress.

Regular dental visits are vital for oral health, early detection of decay, gum disease, and other issues. Early intervention at your trusted dental clinic near Mill Park prevents further damage to teeth and gums. Sleep dentistry means you can have your dental treatment without anxiety, pain or fear.

Sleep dentistry is a dental treatment involving sedation or anaesthesia to help patients relax and remain comfortable during dental procedures.

Sleep dentistry is beneficial for a number of patients, especially those who:

✓ Experience dental anxiety or fear
✓ Have a low pain threshold
✓ Have a sensitive gag reflex
✓ Require extensive dental work
✓ Have special needs
✓ Experience temporomandibular joint problems or have problems keeping their mouth open for long periods of time

The level of sedation can vary, ranging from mild relaxation to deep unconsciousness, depending on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure.

Before undergoing sleep dentistry or general anaesthetic in our Melbourne clinic near Mill Park, there are some preparations that you may need to do. These preparations may vary depending on the specific sedation method used and the recommendations of your dentist or oral surgeon. The preparations usually involve:

● Taking a full medical history and advising of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you are taking.
● Fasting
● Arranging for someone to pick you up after the procedure

Sleep dentistry, like any medical procedure involving sedation, may have potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type and level of sedation used and individual factors. Most side effects are usually not long lasting. Discussing these potential side effects with your dentist or oral surgeon before undergoing sleep dentistry is essential.
