At Blue House Dental, we pride ourselves on being approachable and understanding. We encourage patients to share any concerns they may have about treatments. A common worry is the fear of pain, but rest assured, we take every measure to ensure your comfort.

Our team uses sufficient local anaesthetic during treatments, so you won’t feel a thing. We’ll check in with you regularly, and if you ever feel the need to pause, simply raise your hand.

Additionally, we use numbing cream to prepare the injection site, ensuring the administration of anaesthetic is as comfortable as possible.

What is IV sedation?

For some patients, visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming experience. That’s why we offer Intravenous (IV) Sedation through Xaler—a safe, effective solution for pain- and anxiety-free dental care.

Also known as Twilight Dentistry, IV Sedation involves administering a sedative directly into your bloodstream before your procedure. This advanced technique is ideal for patients who experience anxiety, fear, or difficulty tolerating certain dental treatments.

Who is IV sedation recommended for?

IV Sedation is an excellent option for patients who:

1. Are undergoing extensive dental procedures: IV Sedation ensures comfort throughout the treatment.
2. Experience significant stress or anxiety related to dental visits: IV Sedation helps you relax and stay calm.
3. Have a low pain tolerance or a strong gag reflex: IV Sedation can make dental treatments much easier to handle.
